Re: [Sks-devel] Cleanup SKS Logs

[Timothy A. Holtzen]

I follow the following procedure to reduce the size of the KDB directory.

1. Stop the sks-keyserver
2. cd into the /var/lib/sks/KDB directory
3. run the command “db_recover -ev”
4. run the command “db_checkpoint -1”
5. run the command “db_archive -dv” ←- This actually removed the old log
files
6. run the command “db_recover -ev”
7. Start the sks-keyserver

I believe you can run the same procedure substituting the PTree
directory and reduce the size there too.  However the PTree directory is
usually much smaller to begin with. The last time I did this the KDB
directory went from about 35G to about 18G.
