[TYPO3-dev] cache_hash flooded by MENUDATA

[Steffen Gebert]

Hi list,

I already found some threads about huge cache_hash tables, but mostly 
related to cal
In our installation most of the entries are of ident MENUDATA (184.000 of of 
185.000). The size of the table is 2.2 gig and our installation has ~16.000 
pages (spread over ~450 websites).
Looking at the entries, I have no clue. We use hierarchical TMENUs with a 
max. depth of 3. (main site is: www.fw-REMOVE_MEbayern.de)

I wonder, how so many items are generated and what could be done.

I found the hint to use clearCacheAtMidnight. But as clearing the cache 
takes some minutes (we also use nc_staticfilecache), I think it's not a good 
idea (the cache is then cleared by the first request after midnight, isn't 
it?).

Hope you have some ideas.. :)

Regards
Steffen
