[firebird-support] tempdirectories
Hi All, Setting the optional size argument on "TempDirectories" in firebird.conf doesn't seem to work. We've played with setting different locations and can demonstrate it works: TempDirectories = /location1; /location2; /location3 But specifying sizes seems to get the whole line ignored: TempDirectories = /location1 5000 ;/location2 1000 ; /location3 Are we doing something wrong? I've tried voodoo with different spaces and sizes to no affect ISQL Version: LI-V2.5.6.27020 Firebird 2.5 Server version: LI-V2.5.6.27020 Firebird 2.5 Thanks Ian

I've just tried TempDirectories = /location1 5000 ;/location2 ; /location3 And location1 is ignored, but 2 and 3 used!

This is an unusual place for firebird executable, so I wonder why devuan packagers broke standard file layout. Check that it has all dependencies resolved. If nothing helps, use strace to check which files are tried to open and why one of them was not found. -- WBR, SD. ++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Documentation item on the main (top) menu.

Which tells you something. ;-) The engine doesn't recognise the format of the first member of the list but it's OK with the second and third because they are legal. I don't know where you got the idea that you could specify the size of a temp directory. It's never been a thing and it wouldn't make sense if it were. The idea of being able to specify multiple locations is that you can avoid an out-of-space crash if the engine has somewehere else to go when it needs to put temp files to disk and the first (or default) temp space is used up. Another point is that, if your user environment has a lot of users doing lots of ordered queries and keeping them alive for long periods, you can consider having a dedicated disk, such as a fast SSD, for TempDirectories. The engine holds the temp file structures in RAM if it can: it only puts them to disk if available RAM is too low. Hence, allocating a RAM disk for TempDirectories doesn't make sense, either.
