Hi,

Berkeley DB should be searching DB_HOME for a DB_CONFIG file. In OrangeFS,
DB_HOME is the MetadataStorageSpace (or StorageSpace value in older
versions) plus a sub directory whose name is a hex value. An example of
DB_HOME, assuming MetadataStorageSpace is set to /orangefs/meta, would be
/orangefs/meta/783070ef. So, place your DB_CONFIG in that directory and you
should be good.

One another note, I'm don't know what parameters you're interested in
changing but some (cache size and type) can be configured through the
OrangeFS configuration file.

Good luck,
Michael
