Package: db4.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Linux supports open(2) flag O_DIRECT. BDB installations can possibly
benefit from that. Using DB_ENV->set_flags(DB_DIRECT_DB) for example
yields the following error:
direct I/O is not supported by this platform
But it definitely is. If you compile the package with -D__USE_GNU,
O_DIRECT will be defined in {asm,bits}/fcntl.h and db4.2's
__os_have_direct() of os/os_open.c will return true so that the call to
set_flags as shown above will succeed.
Thank you,
Jörg

Hello,
db4.2 has been removed many years ago and this bug report is orphan.
Sorry that the bug report was not dealt with when it was due, but it
doesn't make much sense to keep the bug open now agains this package.
Please reopen against current versions of libdb if there
are still issues.
Closing this bug report now.
