Hi there,
 
I'm in a situation where I've been receiving an innxmit feed to
populate a new news server.
 
Unfortunately, after 992GB, we had a power outage and my UPS died
without a clean shutdown.
 
Now, I'm paranoid my index is corrupt and not sure what to do about
it.
 
I'm using cfs on this new system.
 

To add more detail. I am definitely missing some articles.

$ grephistory '<q34v5519vru4fco5d14eradn3iksal3ihr@4ax.com>'|sm
sm: could not retrieve @03024359434E475331000F8053BA00000001@


I have to got back 675 lines in the logfile before I am able to
retrieve an article.
