Re: [Sks-devel] Excessive use of /var/lib/sks/DB/log.*

[Todd Fleisher]

This sounds like you are missing the recommended DB_CONFIG values to prevent 
your server from holding into those log files when an issue is encountered. As 
I recall, the fix is to start over from scratch and rebuild after first putting 
that file in place. It is covered in the list archives and I believe the source 
and packages ship with an example file that had the needed options.
