Rename a list takes incredible time

[finkyseb]

Version

Sympa 6.2.32

Installation method

Source Package

Expected behavior

Rename a list via Web Interface or via the shell with sympa.pl

Actual behavior

The process to rename a list takes an incredible time.
In the web interface we receives an HTTP 500 error and via the shell (sympa.pl --rename_list) it works but takes lots of time.
We make a strace on the process and it seems to parse all the robots and list before to rename effectively the list.

Additional information

[ikedas]

In Sympa::Request::Handler::move_list::_move(), all spools are scanned and their contents are renamed as necessity. During this process, each of directory entries is read and confirmed which list it belongs to (with $spool->next).

Ok I understand the problematic, but in our case, our users loose the capability of rename a list.
All actions done with the graphical interface ended with an internal error.
Do you think, you will be able to fix this bug soon ?

Thanks.

Hi @finkyseb,

Can your team give us any solutions or hints to improve scanning directory?

Hi @finkyseb and all,

Does this patch improve? (Note: this patch was poorly tested. Don't apply it to production system).

[ikedas]

Hi @finkyseb and all,

My fix will be released with the next stable, 6.2.36. If it will not improve satisfactorily, please re-open this issue.

Thanks for inputs!
