after running OVDB for about a month using 2.3 BETA 05/13 I started to
receive:
Jun 16 03:19:04 news2 expireover[38736]: OVDB: expiregroup: c_get:
Input/output error
Jun 16 03:26:18 news2 expireover[38736]: OVDB: expiregroup: c_get: File too
large
Jun 16 14:12:31 news2 innd: OVDB: add: db->put: File too large
Jun 16 14:14:11 news2 innd: OVDB: add: db->put: Input/output error
Jun 16 14:14:49 news2 innd: OVDB: add: db->put: Input/output error
I have rebuilt using 2.3 BETA 06/15 and zapped the spool. If this
re-occurs, I will let you know.
Significant facts:
FreeBSD 4.0-RELESE SMP
Mylex Raid controller
mlx0: DAC1164PVX, 3 channels, firmware 5.07-0-79, 64MB RAM
/news filesystem:
/dev/mlxd0s1g 77285337 56116633 14985878 79% /news
Unfortunately, I didn't notice the errors with the OVDB, and blew it away
before getting a du and ls -al of the directory. We had been seeing
occasional deadlocks of the OVDB solvable by:
su - news
kill -9 -1
cd spool/overview
rm __*
rm log.*
cd ~
bin/ovdb_recover -f
rc.news
I'll send an update if I see any OVDB deadlocks or corruption again.
#define DB_VERSION_STRING "Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.0.55:
(Novemb
er 15, 1999)"
configure arguments:
./configure --with-berkeleydb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.0/ --with-perl
I have been very impressed by the performance of OVDB.
