Reindexing - going on indefinitely

We faced some problem retriving some hased data. To resolve the same, we tried reindexing the project. But this goes on indefinitely .... any idea why this should happen? How much time does it take normally?

Reindexing should not take a long time unless your project has many jobs and entities and your system is overloaded. Most likely you did not get rid of all users on the system and the reindex is waiting for some file lock. Are you certain that all users have exited the system and that no jobs are running in that project? You can use LIST.READU to see if you find entries that look familiar.
