Doc Text:	.Directory Server now stores memory-mapped files of databases on a `tmpfs` file system In Directory Server, the `nsslapd-db-home-directory` parameter defines the location of memory-mapped files of databases. This enhancement changes the default value of the parameter from `/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-__instance_name__/db/` to `/dev/shm/`. As a result, with the internal databases stored on a `tmpfs` file system, the performance of Directory Server increases.	Story Points:	---

Description mreynolds 2019-12-07 15:58:25 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:

https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/issue/49731

#### Issue Description

We get a slight performance boost by setting nsslapd-db-home-directory to /dev/shm (memory mapped file system).  We should investigate if this is worth setting by default.

Comment 1 mreynolds 2020-06-15 14:40:56 UTC

Moving to 8.4 as the selinux dependency has not been fulfilled...

Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2021-06-07 07:30:37 UTC

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.

Comment 10 thierry bordaz 2021-06-07 08:21:57 UTC

This bug is blocked by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1843238. That is expected to land into 8.5 ITM16.
This is still valid to target this RFE for 8.6. Reopening the BZ.

Comment 12 mreynolds 2021-09-03 14:15:20 UTC

Fixed in selinux version: 

selinux-policy-3.14.3-79
