Odsee entry-cache-size, entry-cache-mode explanation

3296891Jan 17 2017 — edited Jan 19 2017

Hi
I am wondering if ODSEE has got some mechanisms that decrease the amount of memory used for entry-cache if the system suffers with lack of memory. Let's say odsee starts and reserve 15GB leaving for system 4GB, then parallelly starts another program that consumes 4GB and whole system suffers because of using swap, paging-in. Does Odsee reacts on such a unexpected situations freeing some memory used for cache ? How does this automatic works, I observed only increasing of entry-cache not decreasing. As well I observed that increasing 1GB of entry cache does not mean slapd process will consume 1GB RSS memory more. For my tests in my directory entry-cache-size set to 800M gave me slapd process consuming 7500M memory, but doubling the entry-cache-size almost doubled RSS memory consumed by slapd process (13GB!) Does anyone know why entry-cache-size is not 1:1 with memory consumption of slapd process ?
