Some files on searchidx2 are owned by root, e.g. /a/search/indexes/index/enwiki.links This causes a problem when the indexer tries to modifies these files (as it is run under user rainman). For certains wikis (including enwiki) this is currently halting all index updates. The problem seem to have occurred at March 9.

I chowned to rainman:search should any crons be run by hand to get things running properly again?
restarted indexer. log-all is now showing indexing occurring. anything else?
Confirming since it was fixed. Waiting for Robert to close.
