Hi,

Which takes precedence in indexes.conf - frozenTimePeriodInSeconds or maxTotalDataSizeMB? Also, if I set maxTotalDataSizeMB to zero, will that make it unlimited?

I would have thought its the first one to be hit. I don't think there is any precedence as such as they both perform similar actions (roll to frozen).

"Also, if I set maxTotalDataSizeMB to zero, will that make it unlimited?" Nope.
