The database plug-in is also organized in an information tree, as shown in Figure 4.1, "Database Plug-in".
All plug-in technology used by the database instances is stored in the cn=ldbm database plug-in node. This section presents the additional attribute information for each of the nodes in bold in the cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config information tree.
This section covers global configuration attributes common to all instances are stored in the cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config tree node.
This parameter can trigger experimental code to improve write performance.
4: Moves code out of the transaction.
All parameters can be combined. For example 7 enables all optimisation features.
This parameter is experimental. Never change its value unless you are specifically told to do so by the Red Hat support.
This performance tuning-related attribute sets the percentage of free memory that is used in total for the database and entry cache. For example, if the value is set to 10, 10% of the system's free RAM is used for both caches. If this value is set to a value greater than 0, auto-sizing is enabled for the database and entry cache.
the database cache in the nsslapd-dbcachesize attribute.
the entry cache in the nsslapd-cachememsize attribute.
For further details about auto-sizing, see the corresponding section in the Red Hat Directory Server Performance Tuning Guide.
Valid Range 0 to 100. If 0 is set, the default value is used instead.
This performance tuning-related attribute sets the percentage of RAM that is used for the database cache. The remaining percentage is used for the entry cache. For example, if the value is set to 40, the database cache uses 40%, and the entry cache the remaining 60% of the free RAM reserved in the nsslapd-cache-autosize attribute.
Valid Range 0 to 99. If 0 is set, the default value is used instead.
This performance tuning-related attribute specifies the database index cache size, in bytes. This is one of the most important values for controlling how much physical RAM the directory server uses.
This is not the entry cache. This is the amount of memory the Berkeley database back end will use to cache the indexes (the .db files) and other files. This value is passed to the Berkeley DB API function set_cachesize. If automatic cache resizing is activated, this attribute is overridden when the server replaces these values with its own guessed values at a later stage of the server startup.
For more technical information on this attribute, see the cache size section of the Berkeley DB reference guide at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_04/html/programmer_reference/general_am_conf.html#am_conf_cachesize.
Attempting to set a value that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer returns an LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message with additional error information explaining the problem.
Do not set the database cache size manually. Red Hat recommends to use the database cache auto-sizing feature for optimized performance. For further see the corresponding section in the Red Hat Directory Server Performance Tuning Guide.
The server has to be restarted for changes to this attribute to go into effect.
This sets the amount of time in seconds after which the Directory Server sends a checkpoint entry to the database transaction log. The database transaction log contains a sequential listing of all recent database operations and is used for database recovery only. A checkpoint entry indicates which database operations have been physically written to the directory database. The checkpoint entries are used to determine where in the database transaction log to begin recovery after a system failure. The nsslapd-db-checkpoint-interval attribute is absent from dse.ldif. To change the checkpoint interval, add the attribute to dse.ldif. This attribute can be dynamically modified using ldapmodify. For further information on modifying this attribute, see the "Tuning Directory Server Performance" chapter in the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide.
This attribute is provided only for system modification/diagnostics and should be changed only with the guidance of Red Hat Technical Support or Red Hat Consulting. Inconsistent settings of this attribute and other configuration attributes may cause the Directory Server to be unstable.
For more information on database transaction logging, see the "Monitoring Server and Database Activity" chapter in the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide.
This attribute specifies circular logging for the transaction log files. If this attribute is switched off, old transaction log files are not removed and are kept renamed as old log transaction files. Turning circular logging off can severely degrade server performance and, as such, should only be modified with the guidance of Red Hat Technical Support or Red Hat Consulting.
The Berkeley database does not reuse free pages unless the database is explicitly compacted. The compact operation returns the unused pages to the file system and the database file size shrinks. This parameter defines the interval in seconds when the database is compacted. Note that compacting the database is resource-intensive, and thus should not be done to frequently.
This setting does not require a server restart to take effect.
This attribute specifies whether additional error information is to be reported to Directory Server. To report error information, set the parameter to on. This parameter is meant for troubleshooting; enabling the parameter may slow down the Directory Server.
This attribute sets whether database transaction log entries are immediately written to the disk. The database transaction log contains a sequential listing of all recent database operations and is used for database recovery only. With durable transactions enabled, every directory change will always be physically recorded in the log file and, therefore, able to be recovered in the event of a system failure. However, the durable transactions feature may also slow the performance of the Directory Server. When durable transactions is disabled, all transactions are logically written to the database transaction log but may not be physically written to disk immediately. If there were a system failure before a directory change was physically written to disk, that change would not be recoverable. The nsslapd-db-durable-transactions attribute is absent from dse.ldif. To disable durable transactions, add the attribute to dse.ldif.
To move the database to another physical location for performance reasons, use this parameter to specify the home directory.
This situation will occur only for certain combinations of the database cache size, the size of physical memory, and kernel tuning attributes. In particular, this situation should not occur if the database cache size is less than 100 megabytes.
The disk is heavily used (more than 1 megabyte per second of data transfer).
There is a long service time (more than 100ms).
There is mostly write activity.
If these are all true, use the nsslapd-db-home-directory attribute to specify a subdirectory of a tempfs type filesystem.
The directory referenced by the nsslapd-db-home-directory attribute must be a subdirectory of a filesystem of type tempfs (such as /tmp). However, Directory Server does not create the subdirectory referenced by this attribute. This directory must be created either manually or by using a script. Failure to create the directory referenced by the nsslapd-db-home-directory attribute will result in Directory Server being unable to start.
Also, if there are multiple Directory Servers on the same machine, their nsslapd-db-home-directory attributes must be configured with different directories. Failure to do so will result in the databases for both directories becoming corrupted.
The use of this attribute causes internal Directory Server database files to be moved to the directory referenced by the attribute. It is possible, but unlikely, that the server will no longer start after the files have been moved because not enough memory can be allocated. This is a symptom of an overly large database cache size being configured for the server. If this happens, reduce the size of the database cache size to a value where the server will start again.
This attribute specifies the index block size in terms of the number of blocks per database page. The block size is calculated by dividing the database page size by the value of this attribute. A value of 1 makes the block size exactly equal to the page size. The default value of 0 sets the block size to the page size minus an estimated allowance for internal database overhead. For the majority of installations, the default value should not be changed unless there are specific tuning needs.
Before modifying the value of this attribute, export all databases using the db2ldif script. Once the modification has been made, reload the databases using the ldif2db script.
This parameter should only be used by very advanced users.
Lock mechanisms in Directory Server control how many copies of Directory Server processes can run at the same time. The nsslapd-db-locks parameter sets the maximum number of locks.
Only set this parameter to a higher value if Directory Server runs out of locks and logs libdb: Lock table is out of available locks error messages. If you set a higher value without a need, this increases the size of the /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/db__db.* files without any benefit. For more information about monitoring the logs and determining a realistic value, see the corresponding section in the Directory Server Performance Tuning Guide.
The service must be restarted for changes to this attribute to take effect.
This attribute specifies the log information buffer size. Log information is stored in memory until the buffer fills up or the transaction commit forces the buffer to be written to disk. Larger buffer sizes can significantly increase throughput in the presence of long running transactions, highly concurrent applications, or transactions producing large amounts of data. The log information buffer size is the transaction log size divided by four.
The nsslapd-db-logbuf-size attribute is only valid if the nsslapd-db-durable-transactions attribute is set to on.
This attribute specifies the path to the directory that contains the database transaction log. The database transaction log contains a sequential listing of all recent database operations. Directory Server uses this information to recover the database after an instance shut down unexpectedly.
By default, the database transaction log is stored in the same directory as the directory database. To update this parameter, you must manually update the /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/dse.ldif file. For details, see the Changing the Transaction Log Directory section in the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide.
This attribute specifies the maximum size of a single file in the log in bytes. By default, or if the value is set to 0, a maximum size of 10 megabytes is used. The maximum size is an unsigned 4-byte value.
This attribute specifies the size of the pages used to hold items in the database in bytes. The minimum size is 512 bytes, and the maximum size is 64 kilobytes. If the page size is not explicitly set, Directory Server defaults to a page size of 8 kilobytes. Changing this default value can have a significant performance impact. If the page size is too small, it results in extensive page splitting and copying, whereas if the page size is too large it can waste disk space.
This attribute specifies the number of times that test-and-set mutexes should spin without blocking.
Never touch this value unless you are very familiar with the inner workings of Berkeley DB or are specifically told to do so by Red Hat support.
The default value of 0 causes BDB to calculate the actual value by multiplying the number of available CPU cores (as reported by the nproc utility or the sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) call) by 50. For example, with a processor with 8 logical cores, leaving this attribute set to 0 is equivalent to setting it to 400. It is not possible to turn spinning off entirely - if you want to minimize the amount of times test-and-set mutexes will spin without blocking, set this attribute to 1.
If nsslapd-db-transaction-batch-val is set, the flushing of transactions is done by a separate thread when the set batch value is reached. However if there are only a few updates, this process might take too long. This parameter controls when transactions should be flushed latest, independently of the batch count. The values is defined in milliseconds.
If nsslapd-db-transaction-batch-val is set, the flushing of transactions is done by a separate thread when the set batch value is reached. However if there are only a few updates, this process might take too long. This parameter controls when transactions should be flushed earliest, independently of the batch count. The values is defined in milliseconds.
This attribute specifies how many transactions will be batched before being committed. This attribute can improve update performance when full transaction durability is not required. This attribute can be dynamically modified using ldapmodify. For further information on modifying this attribute, see the "Tuning Directory Server Performance" chapter in the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide.
Setting this value will reduce data consistency and may lead to loss of data. This is because if there is a power outage before the server can flush the batched transactions, those transactions in the batch will be lost.
Do not set this value unless specifically requested to do so by Red Hat support.
If this attribute is not defined or is set to a value of 0, transaction batching will be turned off, and it will be impossible to make remote modifications to this attribute using LDAP. However, setting this attribute to a value greater than 0 causes the server to delay committing transactions until the number of queued transactions is equal to the attribute value. A value greater than 0 also allows modifications to this attribute remotely using LDAP. A value of 1 for this attribute allows modifications to the attribute setting remotely using LDAP, but results in no batching behavior. A value of 1 at server startup is therefore useful for maintaining normal durability while also allowing transaction batching to be turned on and off remotely when required. Remember that the value for this attribute may require modifying the nsslapd-db-logbuf-size attribute to ensure sufficient log buffer size for accommodating the batched transactions.
The nsslapd-db-transaction-batch-val attribute is only valid if the nsslapd-db-durable-transaction attribute is set to on.
This attribute sets that at least the specified percentage of pages in the shared-memory pool are clean by writing dirty pages to their backing files. This is to ensure that a page is always available for reading in new information without having to wait for a write.
This attribute specifies whether to record additional informational and debugging messages when searching the log for checkpoints, doing deadlock detection, and performing recovery. This parameter is meant for troubleshooting, and enabling the parameter may slow down the Directory Server.
This attribute can split the LDBM cache into equally sized separate pieces of memory. It is possible to specify caches that are large enough so that they cannot be allocated contiguously on some architectures; for example, some systems limit the amount of memory that may be allocated contiguously by a process. If nsslapd-dbncache is 0 or 1, the cache will be allocated contiguously in memory. If it is greater than 1, the cache will be broken up into ncache, equally sized separate pieces of memory.
To configure a dbcache size larger than 4 gigabytes, add the nsslapd-dbncache attribute to cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config between the nsslapd-dbcachesize and nsslapd-db-logdirectory attribute lines.
Set this value to an integer that is one-quarter (1/4) the amount of memory in gigabytes. For example, for a 12 gigabyte system, set the nsslapd-dbncache value to 3; for an 8 gigabyte system, set it to 2.
This attribute is provided only for system modification/diagnostics and should be changed only with the guidance of Red Hat technical support or Red Hat professional services. Inconsistent settings of this attribute and other configuration attributes may cause the Directory Server to be unstable.
This attribute specifies absolute path to database instance. If the database instance is manually created then this attribute must be included, something which is set by default (and modifiable) in the Directory Server Console. Once the database instance is created, do not modify this path as any changes risk preventing the server from accessing data.
This attribute contains a space-separated list of names of attributes to exclude from an entry when a database is exported. This mainly is used for some configuration and operational attributes which are specific to a server instance.
Do not remove any of the default values for this attribute, since that may affect server performance.
This performance-related attribute, present by default, specifies the number of entry IDs that are searched during a search operation. Attempting to set a value that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer returns an LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message, with additional error information explaining the problem. It is advisable to keep the default value to improve search performance.
This parameter can be changed while the server is running, and the new value will affect subsequent searches.
The corresponding user-level attribute is nsIDListScanLimit.
This performance tuning-related attribute automatically sets the size of the import cache (importCache) to be used during the command-line-based import process of LDIF files to the database (the ldif2db operation).
In Directory Server, the import operation can be run as a server task or exclusively on the command-line. In the task mode, the import operation runs as a general Directory Server operation. The nsslapd-import-cache-autosize attribute enables the import cache to be set automatically to a predetermined size when the import operation is run on the command-line. The attribute can also be used by Directory Server during the task mode import for allocating a specified percentage of free memory for import cache.
By default, the nsslapd-import-cache-autosize attribute is enabled and is set to a value of -1. This value autosizes the import cache for the ldif2db operation only, automatically allocating fifty percent (50%) of the free physical memory for the import cache. The percentage value (50%) is hard-coded and cannot be changed.
Setting the attribute value to 50 (nsslapd-import-cache-autosize: 50) has the same effect on performance during an ldif2db operation. However, such a setting will have the same effect on performance when the import operation is run as a Directory Server task. The -1 value autosizes the import cache just for the ldif2db operation and not for any, including import, general Directory Server tasks.
The purpose of a -1 setting is to enable the ldif2db operation to benefit from free physical memory but, at the same time, not compete for valuable memory with the entry cache, which is used for general operations of the Directory Server.
Setting the nsslapd-import-cache-autosize attribute value to 0 turns off the import cache autosizing feature - that is, no autosizing occurs during either mode of the import operation. Instead, Directory Server uses the nsslapd-import-cachesize attribute for import cache size, with a default value of 20000000.
There are three caches in the context of Directory Server: database cache, entry cache, and import cache. The import cache is only used during the import operation. The nsslapd-cache-autosize attribute, which is used for autosizing the entry cache and database cache, is used during the Directory Server operations only and not during the ldif2db command-line operation; the attribute value is the percentage of free physical memory to be allocated for the entry cache and database cache.
If both the autosizing attributes, nsslapd-cache-autosize and nsslapd-import-cache-autosize, are enabled, ensure that their sum is less than 100.
This performance tuning-related attribute determines the size, in bytes, of the database cache used in the bulk import process. Setting this attribute value so that the maximum available system physical memory is used for the database cache during bulk importing optimizes bulk import speed. Attempting to set a value that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer returns an LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message, with additional error information explaining the problem.
A cache is created for each load that occurs. For example, if the user sets the nsslapd-import-cachesize attribute to 1 gigabyte, then 1 gigabyte is used when loading one database, 2 gigabytes is used when loading two databases, and so on. Ensure there is sufficient physical memory to prevent swapping from occurring, as this would result in performance degradation.
This performance-related attribute specifies the maximum number of entries that the Directory Server will check when examining candidate entries in response to a search request. The Directory Manager DN, however, is, by default, unlimited and overrides any other settings specified here. It is worth noting that binder-based resource limits work for this limit, which means that if a value for the operational attribute nsLookThroughLimit is present in the entry as which a user binds, the default limit will be overridden. Attempting to set a value that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer returns an LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message with additional error information explaining the problem.
This attribute specifies the permissions used for newly created index files.
Valid Values Any four-digit octal number. However, mode 0600 is recommended. This allows read and write access for the owner of the index files (which is the user as whom the ns-slapd runs) and no access for other users.
This performance-related attribute specifies the number of entry IDs that are searched, specifically, for a search operation using the simple paged results control.
This attribute works the same as the nsslapd-idlistscanlimit attribute, except that it only applies to searches with the simple paged results control.
If this attribute is not present or is set to zero, then the nsslapd-idlistscanlimit is used to paged searches as well as non-paged searches.
The corresponding user-level attribute is nsPagedIDListScanLimit.
This performance-related attribute specifies the maximum number of entries that the Directory Server will check when examining candidate entries for a search which uses the simple paged results control.
This attribute works the same as the nsslapd-lookthroughlimit attribute, except that it only applies to searches with the simple paged results control.
If this attribute is not present or is set to zero, then the nsslapd-lookthroughlimit is used to paged searches as well as non-paged searches.
The corresponding user-level attribute is nsPagedLookThroughLimit.
This performance-related attribute specifies the maximum number of entries that the Directory Server will check when examining candidate entries in response to a range search request.
The nature of a range search is that it must evaluate every single entry within the directory to see if it is within the range given. Essentially, a range search is always an all IDs search.
The nsslapd-rangelookthroughlimit attribute sets a separate range look-through limit that applies to all users, including Directory Manager.
This allows clients and administrative users to have high look-through limits while still allowing a reasonable limit to be set on potentially performance-impaired range searches.
Unlike other resource limits, this applies to searches by any user, including the Directory Manager, regular users, and other LDAP clients.
Every directory entry is stored as a key in an entry index file. The index key maps the current entry DN to its meta entry in the index. This mapping is done either by the RDN of the entry or by the full DN of the entry.
When a subtree entry is allowed to be renamed (meaning, an entry with children entries, effectively renaming the whole subtree), its entries are stored in the entryrdn.db index, which associates parent and child entries by an assigned ID rather than their DN. If subtree rename operations are not allowed, then the entryrdn.db index is disabled and the entrydn.db index is used, which simply uses full DNs, with the implicit parent-child relationships.
Global read-only attributes containing database statistics for monitoring activity on the databases are stored in the cn=monitor,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config tree node. For more information on these entries, see the "Monitoring Server and Database Activity" chapter in the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide.
This attribute shows the requested pages found in the database.
This attribute shows the total cache lookups.
This attribute shows the percentage of requested pages found in the database cache (hits/tries).
This attribute shows the pages read into the database cache.
This attribute shows the pages written from the database cache to the backing file.
This attribute shows the clean pages forced from the cache.
This attribute shows the dirty pages forced from the cache.
The cn=NetscapeRoot and cn=userRoot subtrees contain configuration data for, or the definition of, the databases containing the o=NetscapeRoot and o=userRoot suffixes. The cn=NetscapeRoot subtree contains the configuration data used by the Administration Server for authentication and all actions that cannot be performed through LDAP (such as start/stop), and the cn=userRoot subtree contains all the configuration data for the user-defined database.
The cn=userRoot subtree is called userRoot by default. However, this is not hard-coded and, given the fact that there are going to be multiple database instances, this name is changed and defined by the user as and when new databases are added. The cn=userRoot database referenced can be any user database.
The following attributes are common to both the cn=NetscapeRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config and the user database, such as cn=userRoot or cn=database_name,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config subtrees.
This attribute has been deprecated. To resize the entry cache, use nsslapd-cachememsize.
This performance tuning-related attribute specifies the cache size in terms of the number of entries it can hold. However, this attribute is deprecated in favor of the nsslapd-cachememsize attribute, which sets an absolute allocation of RAM for the entry cache size, as described in Section 4.4.3.2, "nsslapd-cachememsize".
Attempting to set a value that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer (on 32-bit systems) returns an LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message with additional error information explaining the problem.
The performance counter for this setting goes to the highest 64-bit integer, even on 32-bit systems, but the setting itself is limited on 32-bit systems to the highest 32-bit integer because of how the system addresses memory.
This performance tuning-related attribute specifies the size, in bytes, for the available memory space for the entry cache. The simplest method is limiting cache size in terms of memory occupied. Activating automatic cache resizing overrides this attribute, replacing these values with its own guessed values at a later stage of the server startup.
Do not set the database cache size manually. Red Hat recommends to use the entry cache auto-sizing feature for optimized performance. For further see the corresponding section in the Red Hat Directory Server Performance Tuning Guide.
This attribute specifies the path to the database instance. If it is a relative path, it starts from the path specified by nsslapd-directory in the global database entry cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config. The database instance directory is named after the instance name and located in the global database directory, by default. After the database instance has been created, do not modify this path, because any changes risk preventing the server from accessing data.
This performance tuning-related attribute specifies the size, in bytes, for the available memory space for the DN cache. The DN cache is similar to the entry cache for a database, only its table stores only the enrty ID and the entry DN. This allows faster lookups for rename and moddn operations.
The simplest method is limiting cache size in terms of memory occupied.
This attribute specifies read-only mode for a single back-end instance. If this attribute has a value of off, then users have all read, write, and execute permissions allowed by their access permissions.
When switched to on, this attribute allows one to refuse unindexed searches. This performance-related attribute avoids saturating the server with erroneous searches.
This attribute specifies the suffix of the database link. This is a single-valued attribute because each database instance can have only one suffix. Previously, it was possible to have more than one suffix on a single database instance, but this is no longer the case. As a result, this attribute is single-valued to enforce the fact that each database instance can only have one suffix entry. Any changes made to this attribute after the entry has been created take effect only after the server containing the database link is restarted.
This attribute sets the base DN for which the browsing or virtual list view (VLV) index is created.
For more information on VLV indexes, see the indexing chapter in the Administration Guide.
This attribute is only available to user databases like userRoot, not configuration databases like o=NetscapeRoot.
This attribute sets whether the browsing or virtual list view (VLV) index is enabled.
The browsing or virtual list view (VLV) index is created by running a search according to a filter and including entries which match that filter in the index. The filter is specified in the vlvFilter attribute.
A browsing index or virtual list view (VLV) index dynamically generates an abbreviated index of entry headers that makes it much faster to visually browse large indexes. A VLV index definition has two parts: one which defines the index and one which defines the search used to identify entries to add to the index. The vlvIndex object class defines the index entry.
This object class is defined in Directory Server.
Defines the object classes for the entry.
Gives the common name of the entry.
vlvSort Identifies the attribute list that the browsing index (virtual list view index) is sorted on.
vlvEnabled Stores the availability of the browsing index.
vlvUses Contains the count the browsing index is used.
This attribute sets the scope of the search to run for entries in the browsing or virtual list view (VLV) index.
A browsing index or virtual list view (VLV) index dynamically generates an abbreviated index of entry headers that makes it much faster to visually browse large indexes. A VLV index definition has two parts: one which defines the index and one which defines the search used to identify entries to add to the index. The vlvSearch object class defines the search filter entry.
vlvBase Identifies base DN the browsing index is created.
vlvScope Identifies the scope to define the browsing index.
vlvFilter Identifies the filter string to define the browsing index.
Gives a text description of the entry.
This attribute sets the sort order for returned entries in the browsing or virtual list view (VLV) index.
The entry for this attribute is a vlvIndex entry beneath the vlvSearch entry.
This attribute contains the count for the browsing or virtual list view (VLV) index.
The attributes in this tree node entry are all read-only, database performance counters.
If the nsslapd-counters attribute in cn=config is set to on, then some of the counters kept by the Directory Server instance increment using 64-bit integers, even on 32-bit machines or with a 32-bit version of Directory Server. For database monitoring, the entrycachehits and entrycachetries counters use 64-bit integers.
The nsslapd-counters attribute enables 64-bit support for these specific database and server counters. The counters which use 64-bit integers are not configurable; the 64-bit integers are either enabled for all the allowed counters or disabled for all allowed counters.
Number of normalized cached DNs.
Current size of the normalized DN cache in bytes.
Percentage of the normalized DNs found in the cache.
Normalized DNs found within the cache.
Normalized DNs not found within the cache.
Total number of cache lookups since the instance was started.
Current value of the nsslapd-ndn-cache-max-size parameter. For details how to update this setting, see Section 3.1.1.126, "nsslapd-ndn-cache-max-size".
The attributes in this tree node entry are all read-only, database performance counters. All of the values for these attributes are 32-bit integers, except for entrycachehits and entrycachetries.
If the nsslapd-counters attribute in cn=config is set to on, then some of the counters kept by the Directory Server instance increment using 64-bit integers, even on 32-bit machines or with a 32-bit version of Directory Server. For the database monitoring, the entrycachehits and entrycachetries counters use 64-bit integers.

This attribute shows the number of DNs currently present in the DN cache.
This attribute shows the total size, in bytes, of DNs currently present in the DN cache.
This attribute shows the maximum size, in bytes, of DNs that can be maintained in the database DN cache.
The set of default indexes is stored here. Default indexes are configured per back end in order to optimize Directory Server functionality for the majority of setup scenarios. All indexes, except system-essential ones, can be removed, but care should be taken so as not to cause unnecessary disruptions. For further information on indexes, see the "Managing Indexes" chapter in the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide.
This attribute provides the name of the attribute to index.
This object class defines an index in the back end database. This object is defined in Directory Server.
Identify whether or not the index is a system defined index.
This optional, multi-valued attribute specifies the type of index for Directory Server operations and takes the values of the attributes to be indexed. Each required index type has to be entered on a separate line.
This optional, multi-valued attribute specifies the ordering matching rule name or OID used to match values and to generate index keys for the attribute. This is most commonly used to ensure that equality and range searches work correctly for languages other than English (7-bit ASCII).
This is also used to allow range searches to work correctly for integer syntax attributes that do not specify an ordering matching rule in their schema definition. uidNumber and gidNumber are two commonly used attributes that fall into this category.
For example, for a uidNumber that uses integer syntax, the rule attribute could be nsMatchingRule: integerOrderingMatch.
Any change to this attribute will not take effect until the change is saved and the index is rebuilt using db2index, which is described in more detail in the "Managing Indexes" chapter of the Red Hat Directory Server Administration Guide).
This mandatory attribute specifies whether the index is a system index, an index which is vital for Directory Server operations. If this attribute has a value of true, then it is system-essential. System indexes should not be removed, as this will seriously disrupt server functionality.

Opinion: Colorado's COVID-19 vaccine plans must be clear, transparent and guided by science
It's time for full-scale mobilization. When we do that work well, we will finally get back to normal.
by Jean Nofles 2:45 AM MST on Feb 7, 2021 12:40 PM MDT on Sep 14, 2022
A health care worker gives Gretta Wyman, 88, her first of two Moderna COVID-19 vaccine shots at the Della Cava Family Medical Pavilion in Boulder on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021. (Steve Peterson, Special to The Colorado Sun)
After COVID-19 had claimed more than 300,000 lives, Americans received word in December that two vaccines had been granted emergency authorization in the United States. Now, as the first Coloradans have begun to receive their vaccinations, questions are emerging about who should get the first doses and how distribution is being managed.
At AARP Colorado, we are urging our state's leaders to follow the science and prioritize older adults. Our leaders must be transparent and responsive about where and how vaccines are being given.
On Jan. 27, Gov. Jared Polis and Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera held a tele-town hall with AARP Colorado to answer questions from the public and AARP members about vaccinations. During the hour-long discussion, a poll was taken of those who wanted to answer, in which 19% of respondents said they will get the vaccine as soon as possible, 16% are planning on waiting a little longer, 40% want to learn more about it and 25% said they do not plan to get the vaccine.
Jean Nofles
Nationally, Americans over the age of 50 account for nearly 95% of all COVID-19 deaths. Here in Colorado, 5,650 people have died, with older people and their families hit hard by the virus. Nationwide, more than 420,000 have died from the virus.
The situation in nursing homes is particularly dire. Residents and staff of nursing homes account for nearly 40% of all COVID-19 deaths, though they are less than 1% of the population. Tragically, this situation has gotten even worse over the last few months. From September to December 2020, Colorado deaths among nursing-home residents increased from 0.17 to 3.68 per 100 residents.
And then there are our hospitals, which are under tremendous strain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people ages 50 to 64 with COVID-19 are four times more likely to end up in the hospital than their younger counterparts, and worryingly, at 30 times greater risk for death. If you are 65 to 74 years old, the risks are even higher.

Opinion: Denver voters can choose leaders that will make the city more affordable and livable
Littwin: Would mass killings in California affect effort to ban sale of so-called assault weapons in Colorado?
Clearly, states vaccination plans must prioritize the most vulnerable. That includes older Coloradans who are at much higher risk of death due to COVID-19. And, we need to continue to ensure residents and staff of long-term care facilities can receive vaccinations as soon as possible to prevent further loss of life.
As we move forward with the real-time distribution of vaccines, we must ensure that our state's plans are implemented smoothly and efficiently. The first weeks of vaccine distribution got off to an unsteady start across the nation. Every day, residents of Colorado have questions about when and how they can get a vaccine.
We need our federal government, state officials, and the private sector to work together to be clear about when and how to sign up to be vaccinated and to efficiently manage the processes to administer the vaccines.
To help our members and all Coloradans, AARP has published a guide to Colorado's distribution plans, explaining how distribution will work, eligibility, the timeline, vaccination locations, and other key details. The state guide is available at aarp.org/COvaccine and will be updated throughout the year as new information is available.
Transparency is critical to an effective vaccine plan to make sure our distribution systems are functioning like they should, to know what's working and what's not. We must ensure that every Coloradan who wants a vaccine can receive one.
AARP Colorado has asked Gov. Polis to regularly post information and updates on vaccine administration on a public website to ensure transparency about state efforts as well as critical information when additional individuals will be eligible to be vaccinated and that is being done.
Since March 2020, we have joined together to battle coronavirus and its health and economic consequences. We now have the hope of ending the pandemic through widespread vaccination, but for it to work, our state must make and implement plans that are guided by the evidence.

2017 MLB Preview: AL West

2014 MLB Preview: NL Central
The MLB is becoming more and more even every year that passes as more teams continue to put their hat in the ring. The NL Central was a perfect expression of this in 2013 when they had one of the best division battles in the MLB. Out of the five teams in the division there were three that continued to fight for the division until the final days of the season. In the past this was always limited to the top two teams as the rest of the teams were put to the bottom to fight it out for third place. It was like that for years until the Pittsburgh Pirates threw their names into the title race.

As the gateway into the state of Kerala in India, Kochi, also known as Cochin, has a blend of Dutch, Portuguese, British and of course, Indian heritage which makes this city unique. It is part of central Kerala, located on the coastline of the Arabian Sea, which also includes areas such as: Thekkady in the East, where spices such as cardamom, as well as tea, are grown; Alleppey in the south, where rice is cultivated below sea level; and Thrissur in the north, the cultural capital of Kerala.
Kochi was the centre of spice exports and trade under Portuguese rule in the 1500′s, followed by the Dutch in the mid 1600′s, and then the British until India's independence was declared in 1947. This mix of different nations and religions is reflected in the sights to see in the area – there's a Dutch palace, a synagogue decorated with Belgian chandeliers, Chinese fishing nets and a 500 year old church. You can hone your bargaining skills at the markets in Jew Town, or check out the Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica, one of eight basilicas in India.
Many of the popular tourist sights are within the Fort Kochi area, about 15km from the main city centre and named after a fort constructed by the Portuguese in the 1500′s to keep an eye on the sea and protect their commercial interests. The fort was later destroyed by the Dutch on their arrival at Kochi. The city itself derives its name from the Malayalam word 'Cochazi' which means small sea or lagoon, and Kochi is considered to have one of the finest natural harbours in the world.
If you're looking to swim, a number of beautiful beaches (sure to gain fame in the future) are nearby, and the internationally known Cherai Beach is 25km from Kochi. Day or overnight excursions can be planned from the city to explore the state, including trips to the Kodanad Elephant Training Camp, Athirapally Waterfall or trips to India's first ecotourism village, Kumbalangi.
Kochi features many reminders of its rich multicultural heritage. There's the Dutch Palace, built by the Portuguese and gifted to the King of Kochi in about 1555. The palace has a fine collection of murals based on Mahabharat and Ramayana scenes.
Adjacent to the palace, you can visit the Paradesi Synagogue, the hall of which is decorated with hand crafted tiles and Belgian chandeliers. Outside is a market known as 'Jew Town', where you can buy antiques, jewellery, dresses and more. To maximize profit, shopkeepers will often quote higher prices so bargaining is suggested.
From Mattanchery, you can go down the road about 2km to Kochi, and see the Chinese Fishing nets, used by fishermen to earn their livelihoods, and either try your hand or watch how local fisherman work on them.
At Fort Kochi Beach and Walkway, you can see European-style buildings, Nehru Park, views of ships sailing in the sea and some remarkable sunsets – picture perfect for photos.
You can continue walking to visit St Francis Church, where Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama was buried before his remains were relocated to Lisbon, and where his tombstone can still be seen. Near the beach you can catch a glimpse of Fort Immanuel and the Dutch Cemetery – from the outside, as it is locked. You can also walk to the parade ground where the Portuguese, Dutch and British once conducted military parades.
Travellers can fly into Cochin Airport or train to Ernakulam Junction or Ernakulam Town.
From the airport, an air conditioned, comfortable bus is available to Kochi which takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
Upon reaching Ernakulam, travellers can bus directly to Fort Kochi or hop aboard a boat from the jetty near Marine Drive for ₹4 per person, which takes about 25 minutes. Tuk tuks and taxis are also very easily available, and are inexpensive means to cover distances of two to five kilometres.
Frequent buses from Fort Kochi are available for intracity transfers and these are clean and cheap. From main Ernakulam, inter city buses can be caught for other districts in Karala including Alleppey and Munnar. Advance reservations are recommended for travel to various areas including Kanyakumari, Chennai, Bangalore and Pondicherry.
Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama was the first European to reach India by sea. He was buried in Kochi at St Francis Church after his death in 1524, but his remains were returned to Portugal 14 years later.
Kochi is also known as the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea', which texts say is due to the quality of its natural harbour.
Travellers are advised to book trains in advance, particularly for travel to Mumbai, Mysore, Delhi and other cities,. Within Kerala, train travel is generally easily available.
Kochi is a coastal area so the climate is always moderate.
From October to March, the area has a pleasant climate, with temperatures during the day ranging from 25-28 °C and during the evening from 20-23 °C.
In April, May and mid-June, it is comparatively hot and more humid, ranging from 28-34 °C in the day and cooling off to about 25-28 °C at night.
Mid-June to August is the rainy season, with cool winds and more greenery. September is the end of the rainy season, when one can enjoy discounted rates for hotels until the last day of the month.
The best time to visit is October to February, but if you want to save money and prefer luxury, then visit during the month of September. Peak season is from 20 December to 5 January when almost all hotels hike their prices by 50% to 60%.

US stock indexes continue to climb into record territory

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks were modestly higher in morning trading on Friday, as declines in health care stocks were offset by gains in technology, consumer and industrial company stocks.
The gains came a day after the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 27,000 points for the first time.
Investors remain focused on the Federal Reserve. The Fed is expected to cut its benchmark interest rate later this month for the first time in more than a decade to help counter slowing growth.
The Dow rose 120 points, or 0.5%, to 27,210 as of 11 a.m. ET. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 0.1% and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.2%.
Health care stocks took some of the heaviest losses. Eli Lilly, AbbVie, Merck and Pfizer all fell 1.5% or more. Pharmaceutical companies also fell on Thursday after the White House withdrew a plan to overhaul the rebates that drugmakers pay insurers and distributors. Investors now expect drugmakers may come under renewed pressure to lower prices.
Industrial companies were doing well. DuPont, Emerson Electric and Illinois Tool Works rose 2% or more. There was positive economic data out of Europe on Friday. Industrial production rose by 0.9% in May, much more than the 0.2% gain that economists had been expecting.
Ford rose 2.3% after announcing that it would team up with Volkswagen to share costs on self-driving and electric vehicles.
Stocks have been trending higher for much of the week as investors have grown more confident that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates for the first time in a decade as soon as the end of this month.
New U.S. government data released Thursday showed consumer prices rose in June from a year earlier. The bump in inflation wasn't expected to give the Fed reason to reconsider whether it should lower rates. Inflation has remained muted through much of the economy's 10-year expansion, which Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has cited as a justification for potentially lowering rates.
"With the latest inflation data uptick led by volatile categories, equity investors quickly brushed it aside and continued to relish in the afterglow of a far more dovish than expected Chair Powell as rate cut fever remains alive and well," Stephen Innes of Vanguard Markets said in a commentary.
Investors are also preparing for the start of second-quarter earnings season. The big banks will start reporting their results on Monday, starting with Citigroup. JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs will report their results on Tuesday.
ENERGY: Benchmark crude oil fell 23 cents to $60.20 per barrel in New York. Brent crude oil, the international standard, lost 49 cents to $66.52 per barrel.
Global stocks wobble as markets await comment from Yellen
Global stocks fell Thursday in lackluster trading as investors awaited a speech by Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen on Friday for hints on a possible further interest rate increase
Stocks end mostly lower after Yellen speech
Stocks end mostly lower, giving up earlier gains after Fed Chair Yellen said the case for raising interest rates has strengthened
Asian stocks mostly rise on hopes for higher US rates
Asian shares were mostly higher Tuesday as speculation continued about a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate hike later this year

1. The Islanders grabbed the lead midway through the first period as Josh Bailey nudged a puck over the goal line after a shot by Kyle Okposo got through Columbus netminder Steve Mason. It was Bailey's eighth goal of the season (a career high, as he had seven last year) and his first in 15 games.
2. The Isles protected the lead for nearly 40 minutes, but RJ Umburger, who has always been a thorn in the Islanders' side, tied the game at 9:47 of the third. It was Umburger's 9th goal in the last 20 games and his 10th in 24 career games against the Islanders. It was the first goal scored in the last eight periods of regulation time by the Blue Jackets, who won a 1-0 game in overtime on Monday night.
3. The Blue Jackets dominated the third period but the tied changed when Fredrik Modin was called for Delay of Game with 1:42 to play in regulation. While the Isles couldn't score on the power play, they did turn the play in their favor, and eventually outshot Columbus 5-2 in the overtime session. After the first four shooters (Jeff Tambellini and Frans Nielsen for the Islanders; Kristain Huselius and Rick Nash for the Coyotes) were stopped, Rob Schremp converted for the only goal of the shootout. Roloson then stopped Fedor Tyutin to earn the second point for the Isles and hand the Blue Jackets their 12th straight road loss (0-8-4).
4. It was the second shootout goal in three attempts for Schremp, who has scored only one regulation goal in his first 26 NHL games. The shootout win raised the Isles record to 2-4 in shootouts and to 7-7 in games that have gone beyond 60 minutes.
5. For the fourth straight game, neither the Isles or their opponents scored on the power play. The Isles failed on four opportunities, all in the third period, including a 47 second 5-on-3 while the Blue Jackets were blanked on three attempts. In those four games, the Isles are 0-13 on the power play and 10-10 on the penalty kill. Over the last 10 games, the Isles are 2-38 on the power play, scoring on the 1st attempt (Schremp vs. Boston on December 11) and going 1-37 since. The Isles have not allowed a power play goal in any of their last nine wins, killing all 30 of the opposition power plays.
6. Roloson records his third straight win to raise his record to 14-7-5. In those three games, he's allowed only four goals on 107 goals. It's the third time this season that Roloson has had a winning streak of at least three games.
7. This game ends a stretch of ten consecutive games in the metro-NY area (eight at home, and two at Madison Square Garden). The Isles went 5-5-0 in the ten games, including 3-5-0 at the Coliseum. The Isles now have 39 points in 41 games; they had only 38 points in their first 55 games last season. With the win, the Isles move from a tie for 13th place to within one point of a playoff spot. Such is life in the NHL's Eastern Conference, where three points separates 8th place and 14th place.
8. Jeff Tambellini, playing for the first time in ten games, made a big impression early, finishing with two shots and five hits. He was averaging less than one hit per game prior to tonight. TIm Jackman had six hits for the Isles, who out-hit Columbus 34-24. Andy Sutton had four hits and five blocks for the Isles, while Andy Hillen also blocked five shots.
9. Mark Streit led all skater with 26:44 of ice-time while Tyutin led Columbus with 22:43 of ice-time and 5 blocked shots. Columbus won 26 of 49 face-offs; Schremp was by far the best Islander, winning 9-of-12.
10. The Islanders lead the season series 1-0; the teams will play again on March 27th in Columbus. The Isles have won the last three Coliseum meetings between the squads, but are still looking for their first-ever win at Nationwide Arena.
Up next: The Isles will ring out the old, as they end 2009 with a New Year's Eve game in Ottawa. The Isles have won their last four December 31 games, including a 4-2 win over Florida in a matinee last season. The Islanders have not been beaten on New Year's Eve since the final night of 1998, when Jocelyn Thibault and the Blackhawks blanked the Isles 1-0 in Chicago.

Conversion of alpha-linolenic acid in humans is influenced by the absolute amounts of alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid in the diet and not by their ratio

NUTRIM School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism
BACKGROUND: Human in vivo data on dietary determinants of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3) metabolism are scarce. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether intakes of ALA or linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n-6) or their ratio influences ALA metabolism. DESIGN: During 4 wk, 29 subjects received a control diet (7% of energy from LA, 0.4% of energy from ALA, ALA-to-LA ratio = 1:19). For the next 6 wk, a control diet, a low-LA diet (3% of energy from LA, 0.4% of energy from ALA, ratio = 1:7), or a high-ALA diet (7% of energy from LA, 1.1% of energy from ALA, ratio = 1:7) was consumed. Ten days before the end of each dietary period, [U-13C]ALA was administered orally for 9 d. ALA oxidation was determined from breath. Conversion was estimated by using compartmental modeling of [13C]- and [12C]n-3 fatty acid concentrations in fasting plasma phospholipids. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, ALA incorporation into phospholipids increased by 3.6% in the low-LA group (P = 0.012) and decreased by 8.0% in the high-ALA group (P < 0.001). In absolute amounts, it increased by 34.3 mg (P = 0.020) in the low-LA group but hardly changed in the high-ALA group. Nearly all ALA from the plasma phospholipid pool was converted into eicosapentaenoic acid. Conversion of eicosapentaenoic acid into docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid hardly changed in the 3 groups and was <0.1% of dietary ALA. In absolute amounts, it was unchanged in the low-LA group, but increased from 0.7 to 1.9 mg (P = 0.001) in the high-ALA group. ALA oxidation was unchanged by the dietary interventions. CONCLUSION: The amounts of ALA and LA in the diet, but not their ratio, determine ALA conversion.

A day after providing two Technotes on SHA-2, TLS, and POODLE for Domino, IBM released two documents to cover their Protector product. The bulletin covers three vulnerabilities and provides details on each. For the workaround document, mind the side effect mentioned at the bottom, as with some sites, this may introduce a risk assessment against delivery versus the exploit's vulnerability.
Notation: It should be noted that the bulletin omits CVE 2014-3566, the primary exploit for POODLE; as per IBM Tech Support they are specifically releasing an HTTPS patch for this exploit--via a PMR opened by a customer.
Hat tip to Samuel Sawatzky for the heads-up.


Continuing the year-long process of using up what I have, I made the following quilt using the quilt blocks as found in The Farmer's Wife. The blocks were made almost a year ago and then languished in the pile of other forlorn orphan blocks.
Finally, the simplest layout was sashed blocks. The sashing is a poplin from Lisette for Joann and is a fun and more visually interesting departure from my typical white fabric sashing.
I ran out of sashing fabric and so improvised a bit of turquoise blue to finish the quilt. A happy necessity. It lends some interest, I think, to the overall design.
The back is white minky.

The Surprising Meaning Behind Easter Colors
So that's why we wear pink.
By Hadley Mendelsohn
Leanne Ford Interiors
Out of all the holidays, Easter has the prettiest colors. The soft glow of cotton candy pink, pale sky blue, buttercream yellow, lavender, and mint green evoke springtime memories of dappled sunshine on grassy lawns. But beyond their beauty, Easter colors are packed with important meaning, as they mark the major transitions from Lent to Good Friday and then Easter Day. Learn more about the religious connotations and history behind Easter colors below.
Unsurprisingly, red is associated with sacrifice, blood, martyrdom, and fire. These images of destruction are also signifiers of a new start on the horizon. Red is the color of Palm Friday, reports Catholic Financial Life.
In the Bible: "'Come now, let us reason together,' says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.'" (Isaiah 1:18)
White represents joy, love, virtue, holiness, and all things angelic, including the purity of Jesus Christ, as described by the Christian Resource Institute.
In the Bible: "And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2)
Violet is the color of Lent, and specifically, the day that precedes Easter. That's why you see it a lot in church sanctuaries. It was a precious dye in ancient times, which is why it's often associated with royalty, and represents penance, humility, and melancholy.
In the Bible: "He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God . . . On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" (Revelation 19:13, 16)"
When Easter is over, priests wear green. It's a hopeful color, symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus Christ and "the promise of new life," according to the CRI.
In the Bible: "But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever." (psalm 52:8).
Pink is a joyous color, says the CRI, and is also worn to represent purity and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the Bible: "Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land" (Song of Solomon 2:12).

Carla Geneve is a Perth success story – imperfections and all
On her debut self-titled EP - out now - the long-time Perth favourite establishes her ground as a refreshingly raw songwriter.
Posted By Debbie Carr 16 days ago
When the unabashed sounds of Carla Geneve first hit your ears, there's nothing to hide behind. Immediately you're hit with frank honesty, one that never tip-toes around emotions for the sake of convoluted art, and one that never favours obscure metaphors over blunt descriptions. Her relatability, wrapped in sepia-toned guitar licks, has taken the Perth singer-songwriter from an aspiring bedroom muso to an emerging artist (and Perth favourite) that's supported San Cisco and Jen Cloher, and won two WAM awards (Best Single & Best Rock Act). We even named Carla Geneve on our list of Ones To Watch in 2018, for good reason too.
Around that time, her first major single, Greg's Discount Chemist, was just on the horizon – ready to grab anyone and everyone's attention with that fuzzy, tumbling rhythm, but seal the deal with the infamous "I wish I could kill time, but time's killing me." Then came Listening, a mellow slice of indie-rock that sits somewhere between Middle Kids, Courtney Barnett and Hyperview-era Title Fight, in a melting pot of shoegaze and the somewhat vague yet fitting genre "Australiana." Geneve continued to throw surprises around every corner throughout 2018, darting from genre to genre and coming up with lines so ingenious it's as if she's taken a page from your diary – all while maintaining an immediately distinctive sound. Now it's clear Geneve hasn't lost her spark with words, continuing to strengthen her way of phrasing the mundane that sits at the heart of all six tracks on her debut, self-titled EP Carla Geneve.
"Did you get a new job? Did your dog die? Have you started jogging every second day?" Geneve questions at the start of the EP's second track, and a highlight amongst highlights, Things Change. "Are you vegetarian now? Did you try MDMA for the first time? Did you fall in love, or have you given up on that?" Over and over she questions, diving deep into those familiar post-relationship curiosities and laying them bare on a plate. It goes hand-in-hand with the following track, 2001, a pop culture-infused breakup song that "covers depression and escapism through books and movies," namely 2001: A Space Odyssey. Here, Geneve's conversational vocals shine in the form of a folksy ballad, as she croons "they'll tell me that I'm not alone, I'm just lonely, not used to being on my own."
Things Change and 2001 were specifically placed together. Actually, according to the songwriter herself, every part of Carla Geneve was planned to be exactly the way it is. The EP was ordered in a way that would make her experiences flow one into another, and the recording process - with Dan Carroll of RADA Studios in West Perth - was done loosely and quickly to mimic how the full band executes each track live. In fact, the whole recording process only took a week and a bit to complete.
When Carla Geneve talks, she exudes a passion for all these details and more. The EP isn't polished to perfection (that's not what she was going for anyway), but it is raw and commanding. There are moments of pent up energy and a fierce frustration, copy and pasted in amongst intimate, confessional tales. Songs like Empty Stomach and Juliette rise, and keep rising, until their bluesy walls of sound hit an emotional peak, whereas the EPs closer I Hate You (For Making Me Not Want To Leave The City) quietly slinks around. Both are equally captivating.
When asked about her beginnings, Geneve replied, "when I started singing, it just felt really right to me, like I'd found my passion; something that I'd love doing inexplicitly." The WAM award winner has come a long way from humble beginnings playing the piano at an early age, and later picking up a guitar around 12 years old; to right now, having only recently released her debut EP. The maturity and self-awareness in all six songs stem far beyond what people usually expect of a 20-year-old still navigating themselves and the world around them, but Carla Geneve does it with ease.
To gain a little more insight on her highly-anticipated debut EP, we spoke to her ahead of the release of Carla Geneve, where she opened up on the EP writing process, her love of imperfections, and 'the if you have something to say, just say it' mantra.
Your debut EP is self-titled, Carla Geneve. Do you feel like these songs best represent where you are in life right now?
In a way, I'm looking at the EP as more of a collection of stuff that we've done so far. I guess that's what it means to me – where we've gone and what we've done live for so long. It's very live-sounding. I wanted [the EP] recorded to reflect what we've done and after that, we can sort of move on.
[It's about] just capturing the last couple of years gigging and the songs that have come out of that. They're all very individual, some of them are from a very long time ago, like two years ago, and some are a couple of months ago so it's not really a narrative piece. An EP is a collection of songs, whereas an album to me would be a bit more narrative.
How long did it take you to create the EP, from when you first started tracking to the final mix and mastering?
About a week and a bit all up, over a couple of weeks. I don't think that's too long! I really wanted to avoid [dragging the recording process out] with this group of songs, it didn't feel like that's what it needed. We just live tracked everything first up and didn't do too many takes. We didn't spend too much time nailing one particular part, just a very live process with Dan Carroll from RADA.
Do you find it easier to test songs live and round them out that way, rather than taking potential songs into a studio first?
Totally. That's why it took a long time to actually record these songs because I just wanted to get better at practising them live and gigging them - that's where we practice the most, at shows. These songs are pretty much exactly how we'd play them live, so there's barely any over-dubs - maybe a couple of over-dub solos, maybe two guitar parts on most of them - so very live.
I think we've changed a lot from when we started playing so they've changed a lot over the period of which they've been gigged, if that makes sense. They're very different from the first time we played them, and I like to let the song evolve on its own. I don't like to spend too much time planning it out before I bring a song to the band, we'll usually just let it happen.
I think it's pretty clear how you've worked that live element in across the five songs. It's almost as if, not to say this in a rude way, but there are little "imperfections" that make the EP what it is.
There are totally imperfections! Imperfections are something I love in recordings. I wanted this to sound live [so it reflects] that the gigs we've done; "imperfections in a good way" is one of my favourite things to hear.
Is song-writing a cathartic process for you?
Totally, they're very personal songs. Sometimes it's scary to release them because they are so blunt, it's nerve-wracking to put that out into the world. It's totally cathartic and that's a huge part of why I write and play.
As someone who has never really been musical in a practical sense, I guess I've never quite understood what it's like to write a song and wear your heart on your sleeve, especially so bluntly. How do you manage to write about a person or a situation, and feel like you've accurately represented it?
I have no idea, it just happens! Sometimes you can spend a lot of time on [a song] and put a lot of thought into it but the purest way of capturing that emotion is when it just comes out and you don't think about it. Yeah, the purest way of doing it is when you have something to freaking say and you just say it.
I'm nervous for [the whole EP] to come out, but I think the song I think of when I think of a pure, just-did-it song is the last track, I Hate You (For Making Me Not Want to Leave The City). I just wrote that one quite quickly, I had something to say and I said it, and I haven't really changed it since.
That's definitely one of the most striking tracks I think you have, in terms of lyrics.
It's really interesting because [the lyrics] are so personal. At first, I was like 'oh it's a bit weird that people would relate,' especially with specific ones where it's literally what I've done in a day. I'm starting to realise if you write something and put it out into the world, it's your song, but it sort of becomes a different song to everybody that hears it. Their interpretation is just as real as my interpretation of those words. It just becomes a different song for everyone.
When you first released Greg's Discount Chemist on triple j Unearthed, it completely blew up. Even scrolling through now, there's a heap of comments talking about the lyrics and how people felt the song so deeply. Did this reaction surprise you?
I was surprised that people liked it! I remember writing and playing it for some friends and just being like 'this song's so dumb, I just wrote this about my day,' and people were like 'wow!' I guess it's relatable or whatever, but I was surprised that was the song. I didn't put any effort into it whatsoever. There are other songs of mine that I've spent weeks and weeks on and [Greg's] was just a joke, but that makes sense! Like I said before, the one I didn't think about is the one that's the most relatable or pure.
You have these really lovely country tinges in a few of your songs. Do you take much influence from genres outside of the traditional rock sense?
Yeah, I absolutely love country, so I put a little bit of that country thing in there. I have a shortlist of artists and genres I really enjoy, and I'll be the sort of person that'll go over an album a hundred times as opposed to putting on a playlist. At the moment I'm listening to Chastity Belt's I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone (2017), that one's huge for me.
Is there anything you want listeners to know about the Carla Geneve EP, the way you wrote it, or where you were in life while writing it?
I guess I'm apprehensive because it's that debut [pressure], but the way I'm looking at it is a period of time. I wanted to make something out of that period of time, remember it, and keep going forward. It's just a little memento of the past couple of years for me. I've also been writing a fair bit and not necessarily trying to go in a different direction, but just refine how I'm writing and try to improve my skills.
Carla Geneve's debut EP is out now via Dot Dash Recordings/Remote Control Records.
