Not really. SECURITY LABEL is supposedly a generic facility that can be used by a variety of providers, and the regression tests load a dummy provider which works on any platform to test that it hasn't gotten broken. > Also, the tests I did with varying bucket sizes suggested that decreasing > the syscache to 256 didn't show a significant performance decrease compared > to the 2048 #buckets, for the restorecon test, which hits over 3000 objects > with security labels.

I'd rather not, if it's easy to rejigger things so we don't have to. I don't think this is necessarily a hard problem to solve - it's just that no one has tried yet. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
