gLite 3.1

glite-BDII - Update to version 3.1.14-0


Date 27.03.2009
Priority Normal

Description

- Upgrade of BDII. The main change is that the starting cache size used for the Berkeley Database in the BDII has been reduced from 1 GB to 50 MB. This should significantly reduce the memory footprint and still provide the necessary performance.

- DB_CONFIG now has "set_lk_max_locks 10000" (10k) to fix GGUS ticket 43230 ("gLite 3.1u34: lcg-cp failing on a BDII error in a MPI job")
