Mine is set to 96K, which is higher than the documented default of 60K, so I assume it's increased automatically. o Create a /var/lib/imap/db/DB_CONFIG file o Put in it an entry like: "set_lg_regionmax 262144" (this sets it to 256K) o I think you need to run 'db_recover' after this; at least, with the BDB backend for Subversion you have to run 'svnadmin recover' after changing it. I think Cyrus should be shutdown when you run db_recover. Unfortunately, the documentation for BDB is written for programmers, not sys admins, and unless you've spent much time looking at the rest of the docs, it can be pretty impenetrable. Oddly enough, the sample DB_CONFIG files that Subversion and OpenLDAP ship with and their docs seem to be the best resources I've found. http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=1072 (Search down to "Write the DB_CONFIG file") http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_fs_base/fs.c?revision=19410&view=markup Wil -- Wil Cooley <wcooley@xxxxxxxxxxx> Naked Ape Consulting, Ltd
