Actually `xapian-check ~/mai/.notmuch/xapian`, but I already did that:

Database couldn't be opened for reading: DatabaseModifiedError: The
revision being read has been discarded - you should call
Xapian::Database::reopen() and retry the operation
Continuing check anyway
docdata:
xapian-check: DatabaseCorruptError: Db block overwritten - are there
multiple writers?

`xapian-check ~/mail/.notmuch/xapian F` doesn't seem to change anything.

Thanks for the prompt response though.

Cheers.
