Re: High volume ldap queries causing corruption in bdb backend.
Quanah,
I setup the DB_CONFIG file and it helps. The fast query scripts still start
to slow down but not as soon as before. Also the scripts with the one second
delays ran without problems for 14,000 queries where before the started
having problems at about 7000 queries.
There must still be something wrong with the software since I still have to
use db_recover to get response time back up to normal after a slowdown.
thanks for your help.
