Optimize not having any effect on my index

Hey guys,
I'm getting some strange behavior here, and I'm wondering if I'm doing
anything wrong..

I've got an unoptimized index, and I'm trying to run the following command:
http://server:8983/solr/update?optimize=true&maxSegments=10&waitFlush=false
Tried it first directly in the browser, it obviously took quite a bit of
time, but once it was finished I see no difference in my index. Same number
of files, same size etc.
So i tried with curl:
curl http://server:8983/solr/update --data-binary '<optimize/>' -H
'Content-type:text/xml; charset=utf-8'

No difference here either... Am I doing anything wrong? Do i need to issue a
commit after the optimize?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
 Aleks

Hey, I managed to run it correctly after a few restarts. Don't really know
what happened.
Can't really see what this would have had to do with compound file format
tho? But no, I'm not using compund file format.

Cheers and thanks for your replies,
 Aleks

Hi,

Are you using the compound file format? If yes, then, have u set it properly
in solrconfig.xml, if not, then, change to:

<useCompoundFile>true</useCompoundFile> (this is by default 'false') under
the tags:

<indexDefaults>.......</indexDefaults>
 and, <mainIndex>.......</mainIndex>

Did you restart the Solr server instance after the optimize operation 
was completed?

BTW: You could initiate the optimization operation by POSTing 
optimize=true directly, i.e.,

curl http://server:8983/solr/update/update --form-string optimize=true
