However, one can reproduce the problem with replication disabled.
Looks like you have a thread blocked trying to modify a record, while all the other writer threads are blocked waiting for that writer to complete. The output of db_stat -CA would help to indicate why the writer is blocked. It also looks like you've configured your replication with mirrormode and delta-syncrepl. This combination is not yet supported in OpenLDAP, certainly not in 2.4.26. It may be supported in 2.4.27, depending on how our ongoing testing turns out. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
