Can't really say anything particularly informed about alternative storage backends for durus, but, regarding berkeley db, I remember that subversion had been using it for several years, but now highly recommend the usage of another backend (fsfs) that is available since svn 1.1 Could the problems they encountered with bdb be relevant in some way to what you are planning? The number one problem they mention is: Sensitivity to interruptions -- Berkely DB: very; crashes and permission problems can leave the database “wedged”, requiring journaled recovery procedures. -- FSFS: quite insensitive. A discussion, of this and other issues, of these two backends in the context of svn is at: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05.html#svn-ch-5-sect-1.3 Hope that could be interesting, but, in any case, all I actually am posting for is to say that I really liked your email signature ;-) mario > - -- > Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ > jcea@argo.es http://www.argo.es/~jcea/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ > _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ > PGP Key Available at KeyServ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ > "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ > "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ > "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz
