ldap server restart
Hi list,
does anybody run an openldap server on debian? I have such server
running on etch which holds a very big database. I always have problems
when restarting the server because on stop it gets corrupted. I have
investigated a little and I think it depends on the way it gets stopped
in the slapd init.d script. When stopping the slapd daemon it performs
some operations to keep the database consistent, but since it is a
rather big database this operations my last for long time. The slapd
script waits a little then sends a kill signal to the process ("--retry
10" parameter of the start-stop-daemon script), which stops, but makes
the database corrupted. Did anybody experience the same problem?
Personally I have modified the slapd init.d script ("changed to --retry
-15/30") and now it works fine to me. I have also written a mail to
pkg-openldap-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org but until now I didn't get
any answer. According to me this is a big problem if someone is running
a production ldap server and I would like to discuss with somebody if my
solution is good or not.
Best regards,
Fabrizio
