Hi!
I've a Tru64 (formely OSF1/Digital Unix) v5.1 server running approx 500
smbd processes of 15 MB (!) vm each. With 1 GB memory this results in som
paging, but still aceptable under normal operation with spread load and
lots of inactive processes etc. But whenever any of the conf-files are
touch'ed it seem like all active processes wil try to pull its
"config-parsing" code out of swap, clogging the swap IO system. My
questions ar:
- Why does 2.0.7 use ~ 15MB vm when 2.0.6 use ~ 6MB. (150% increase)
- Is there anything (compile options etc.) that can reduse mem-usage.
- I guess I can avoid the massive reloading of touched conf-files by
modifying lp_file_list_changed() to allways return False. What kind of
side-effects would that have? (Params never loaded etc.) Is ther a
easyer/simpler way to achiev the same?
/*******************************************************************
check if a config file has changed date
********************************************************************/
BOOL lp_file_list_changed(void)
{
:
:
if (f->modtime != mod_time) {
DEBUGADD(6,("file %s modified: %s\n", n2,
ctime(&mod_time)));
f->modtime = mod_time;
/*
* *** Never reload the conf-file.
*
* return(True);
*/
return(False);
}
