Find_id_by_contents crashing

I’ve got an index with over 11M entries. Both server and clients are
running Ferret gem 0.11.4.

If I do “UserMessage.find_id_by_contents(‘kenn*’, :limit => 49)”, it
works fine. If I do " UserMessage.find_id_by_contents(‘kenn*’, :limit
=> 50)", it throws an exception, like this:

UserMessage.find_id_by_contents ‘kenn*’, :limit => 50
IOError: IO Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraise
Error occured in fs_store.c:293 - fsi_seek_i

Any idea what I can do to recover from this? Rebuilding this index
would take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time :slight_smile:
