That's a small users.v3j file. Mine is 1.6 GB. How much RAM do you have on the machine? Ron VE3CGR On 2026-03-03 3:25 p.m., Erik Schott via Dxspider-support wrote:
I run the DX cluster at dxcluster.pa0esh.nl and lately my server has become somewhat sluggish. After some investigation I found that the user database users.v3j (located in /spider/data/) is being loaded entirely into memory. The file is currently 100MB in size and contains 266,323 records — all of which appear to be older than two years or have never logged in.
My question: is it safe to clean up this database, and if so, is there a recommended procedure or built-in tool to remove stale or inactive users? I noticed there are conversion scripts in /spider/perl/ but nothing that looks like a purge or expiry tool.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards, Erik, PA0ESH _______________________________________________ Dxspider-support mailing list --dxspider-support@dxcluster.org To unsubscribe send an email todxspider-support-leave@dxcluster.org
