<ul>
|

<li>I had used lrzip once, but it needs more memory and is harder to use as it requires the lrztar wrapper</li>
|
||
<li>Need to remember to go check if everything is ok in a few days and then change CGSpace</li>
|
||
<li>CGSpace went down again (due to PostgreSQL idle connections of course)</li>
|
||
<li>Current database settings for DSpace are <code>db.maxconnections = 30</code> and <code>db.maxidle = 8</code>, yet idle connections are exceeding this:</li>

</ul>

</code></pre>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>I restarted PostgreSQL and Tomcat and it’s back</li>
|
||
<li>On a related note of why CGSpace is so slow, I decided to finally try the <code>pgtune</code> script to tune the postgres settings:</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<pre><code># apt-get install pgtune
|
||
# pgtune -i /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf -o postgresql.conf-pgtune
|
||
# mv /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf.orig
|
||
# mv postgresql.conf-pgtune /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf
|
||
</code></pre>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>It introduced the following new settings:</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<pre><code>default_statistics_target = 50

|

<li>We weren’t out of heap yet, but it’s probably fair enough that the DSpace 5 upgrade (and new Atmire modules) requires more memory so it’s ok</li>

<li>Switch CGSpace log compression cron jobs from using lzop to xz—the compression isn’t as good, but it’s much faster and causes less IO/CPU load</li>
