Okay, I know this has been discussed before, but I tried to check the ISP search on www.freebsd.org for the word "expir*" and got nothing. I recently upgraded my system from 1.5.1 to 1.7.2.insync1.1d. The first time expire ran, I finally killed it 18 hours later. With 1.5.1 I was running an expire in under an hour. My history file is about 120M in size (nothing compared to some of yours I am sure). I tried to re-install 1.5.1, and now its expire is very slow also. I have not changed my kernel, or done a make world, but I am seeing dramatically slower times. I seem to remember that someone (Joe Greco maybe) posted a couple of small patches/tunes for expire or the config.data file which I was using. Unfortunately, I had a brain fart and lost whatever they were. I seem to remember that the changes involved the flushing of the history file in dbz (or something similar). Can anyone help? brian BTW> I `ktrace'd it, and it spends a lot of time doing stat(somefile) error -1 file not found unlink(somefile) error -1 file not found kinda seems like a waste. +-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ He rides a cycle of mighty days, and \ Wm Brian and Lori McCane represents the last great schizm among\ McCane Consulting the gods.
