--- Comment #6 from Quanah Gibson-Mount <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Mark Martinec from comment #5) > Btw, postfix mailer docs claim: > > The status of LMDB databases is "not recommended". Hi Marc, I'm quite aware of Wietse's issues, all of which have been addressed except his problem with configuring a maximum size for the database. This is more of a philosophical complaint than anything else. Essentially, with LMDB, you *must* specify a maximum size that you would not allow the database to exceed vs the ability to allow unlimited growth of the database so that it can grow unchecked and take down entire servers. Personally, I prefer the ability to limit how large I'm willing to allow a database to grow, Wietse does not. And quite frankly, if what you want to do is allow LMDB to act like any other database and potentially fill your server disk and take down the entire server, you can simple set the maximum size for LMDB to match the size of your disk. I've been using back-mdb (the LMDB backend in OpenLDAP for over a year and a half), with exceptional results: http://mishikal.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/openldap-a-comparison-of-back-mdb-and-back-hdb-performance/ http://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/OpenLDAP_MDB_vs_HDB_performance I would also note plenty of other projects have added support for LMDB or are adding support for LMDB. I would even note there is a LMDB backend for Redis. ;) http://symas.com/mdb/#projects --Quanah -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
