Index rebuilds, progress information ?
Hi all,
Is there any good way/place to check the progress or status of an index rebuild ?
"Rebuilding" isn't that great as a status, if it takes a long time to do a rebuild you don't know if it has hung or not.
So is there any way to actually check that the rebuild is still ongoing and not stopped/hung/whatever.
E.g. a dtrace and some "special" text to check for in the trace.
Yes I know it's not best practice to do rebuilds :-)
Cheers
Fredrik
I wrote an article about this some time ago

If you have multiple index roll overs across multiple index volumes, doing a restore from backup after doing a rebuild is a really annoying thing to have to go through
