OK, this is a nonsense, I misunderstood the code.
The problem should manifest itself upon creating a new hash db in a (new) file.
E.g. something like:
dbopen("filename", O_RDWR | ..., ..., DB_HASH, ...)
The good news is that the last optional argument (as in can be NULL) to dbopen
provides overrides for certain parameters including block size.
And it seems that in all places where dbopen is used by FreeBSD userland
utilities in the above fashion, that last argument is indeed specified and has a
sufficiently small block size value.
And I've been wondering why I have never seen any problems with this change
locally - I've been using it for quite a while before committing it.
P.S. here is a command that I used for searching:
$ find . -name "*.c" | xargs fgrep -w -A1 dbopen /dev/null | grep -v '^--' |
paste - - | fgrep DB_HASH | fgrep O_RDWR
