multiple writes in a short period cause db instability
working on a new build with the following software:
OpenLDAP-2.2.15
db-4.2.52 w/ patches
(other components are included but do not relate to the current issue:
cyrus-sasl-2.1.19, heimdal-0.6, openssl-0.9.7d)
build on the following hardware:
OS= Redhat 7.3
processor=2.8ghz
memory=1gig
some of the config info that I am using:
DB_CONFIG:
set_cachesize 0 300000000 10
set_lg_regionmax 262144
set_lg_bsize 2097152
partial slapd.conf(db portion):
threads 20
database bdb
lastmod on
checkpoint 1024 5
cachesize 30000
idlcachesize 30000
some of these were guessed, based on hardware and software
configurations of others that I found on the net using similar
hardware.
Reads are super fast.. I mean stupid fast! .. never seen it perform
this well.. ever.
a db_stat -m in the database directory shows:
357MB 644KB 540B Total cache size.
10 Number of caches.
35MB 784KB Pool individual cache size.
0 Requested pages mapped into the process' address space.
35M Requested pages found in the cache (100%).
Writes work, as long as its only a few ... but if I try to add 100 user
accounts using ldapadd -f file.ldif .. it bombs out fairly quickly, with
no obvious errors(loglevel -1). The technical term "bombs" is defined
as, slapd stops responding, but is still running.
I need to run a db_recover on the db before slapd will come up
properly.
what other information would I need to provide so that I or someone
else can help me diagnose this problem.
Thanks
