Is it possible to only include the syscache on --enable-selinux configurations? It would imply physical data incompatibility with standard configurations, but that's also true for e.g. the block size.

Also, the tests I did with varying bucket sizes suggested that decreasing the syscache to 256 didn't show a significant performance decrease compared to the 2048 #buckets, for the restorecon test, which hits over 3000 objects with security labels. My guess is that that is a fair middle of the road database schema size. Are you unwilling to pay the startup overhead for a extra 256 syscache?


Hello KaiGai-san,

off-list,

I was wondering why the catalog pg_seclabel exists at all. Why not store the labels together with the objects (pg_class, pg_attribute etc) ? The syscache wouldn't be needed in that case.

regards,
Yeb
