nsslapd-dbncache

- split database cache

Description

This attribute allows you to split the ldbm cache into equally sized separate pieces of memory. It is possible to specify caches that are large enough so that they cannot be allocated contiguously on some architectures. For example, some releases of Solaris limit the amount of memory that may be allocated contiguously by a process. If nsslapd-dbncache is 0 or 1, the cache will be allocated contiguously in memory. If it is greater than 1, the cache will be broken up into ncache equally sized separate pieces of memory.

This attribute is provided only for system modification, and diagnostics. It should be changed only with the guidance of Professional Services. Inconsistent settings of this attribute and other configuration attributes may cause Directory Server to be unstable.
