Hello, A bit unsure whether this should be posted to the user- or dev- list, but landed on the former. We've recently been attempting to move an existing ldap-structure from a Sun 5.2 server, to Fedora DS 1.1. The move itself was relatively painless apart from one thing: When running certain searches, we'd see loads of "aci cache overflown" messages in the logs, and performance would slow to a crawl. This is probably due to parts of the structure making very heavy use of ACIs. A C/C++ proficient coworker tracked down acl.c and the constant ACLPB_MAX_SELECTED_ACLS in acl.h. By bumping this from the original 200 to something higher, the cache overflows stopped, and searches completed normally. There doesn't seem to be any bad side-effects. For my own peace of mind, however, I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on bumping this value, and the reason it's 200. - Any chance this value might become configurable in future versions? - Can you think of any unfortunate side-effects down the road from bumping this value, aside from increased memory-usage? - Is '200' a more or less arbitrarily chosen round number deemed sufficient, or is there a very specific reason it isn't higher? Ie: a size of 200 should be sufficient for any structure, and overflows might indicate excessive use of ACIs and a structure that should be reworked? (actually not excluding that last one possibility anyway, as evaluating an ACI at every node probably is a performance-killer as far as searches go) I'm interested in hearing any thoughts on this, even wild tangents :) -- Regards, Audun -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
