More OpenLDAP

I tested OpenLDAP multimaster replication some more today. I went back to the official relase version 2.4.8. I ran my test on an AMD 64 bit machine with both servers on the same box--different ports and different installation folders. Things ran fine for the most part. Synchronization was consistent in loading and removing 5000 entries like this:


dn: cn=Fred XX_0,dc=mgm,dc=com
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: top
givenName: Fred
sn: XX
cn: Fred XX_0


I don't know much about the berkeley db, but my issues seemed to happen after abrupt shutdowns and what I think are database corruptions. slapd cored on each server in the same place at different times during the testing:

Server 1 Core:

#0 is_ad_subtype (sub=0x0, super=0x832430) at ad.c:489

#13 0x00000035f12d4b0d in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6


After this happened, a restart of slapd would always hang on either server with this stack trace:


#0 0x00000035f1e076dd in pthread_join () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
#1 0x00000000004e4501 in syncprov_db_open (be=0x8a27c0, cr=) at syncprov.c:2632

I'm happy to see Gavin's interest in my blog. It shows his dedication--a tribute to the OpenSource community.

Did you file an ITS (http://www.openldap.org/its)? We need that you know ;-)

I find your posts and others via serveral feeds. Yours came up via:

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for you interest in my blog.

I tested OpenLDAP 2.4.9, and I no longer see the stability issues with the slapd process I was seeing in 2.4.8. I talk about it more here: openldap-249-multi-master-replication

Excellent news.
