These files are used by Berkeley DB internally by the shared environment (DBEnv) to coordinate multi-process access to the database.

  • Hello, in my system, the __db.001 file consists of one line only. Does this matter? Also,is the __db.001 file related to DB_CONFIG file?Thanks – programmer Jan 22 '12 at 08:28
  • There is very few information out on ___db.001 so I would just leave it at "It is a system file for Berkeley DB". – dgw Jan 22 '12 at 13:27
