I have a LOT of tombstone entries, over 200k on this one server (I'm guessing since I've been restarting the process for over a week now, not letting it run the cleanup process). So, any suggestions on what can I do to fix this? The process that's reaping the entries is using too much IO making queries time out, older versions of the software did not exhibit this behavior. In fact, I can reinitalize the entire replica faster than this thing is reaping the entries, it takes 7 minutes to reinit a replica, but when this issue first started I let the dirsrv run much longer before restarting it. Should I make it purge more frequently so there are fewer entries to reap? Or is this just some weird bug? -- Brad -- 389 users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
