Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Norbert Bollow (bollow) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: bad performance for big queue dirs Initial Comment: Many filesystems (e.g. the popular ext2) have horrible performance when there are many files in the same directory. The queue system should be modified to avoid this situation. As a test case, try adding 20,000 test address in such a way that Mailman will try to send a welcome message to each of them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-05-22 22:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I think you have a valid complaint, but I'm loathe to change something so fundamental this late in the game. I'll leave this bug report open because if we can recommend some other, more big queue friendly filesystem (reiserfs? I don't know) then we should document this. Don't MTAs have the same problem? Do they all implement multiple subdirectories for queued messages? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=558988&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman-21/listinfo/mailman-developers
