Ah, that's good to know. I upgraded an old 2.1.30 production server to
2.3.21 with bdb 4.3 and the load went through the roof, searches were
blindingly slow, etc. I'm rolling back to 2.2.30 right now with db 4.2.
We'll see if that fixes my speed problem.
Followup:
No, it didn't fix the speed problem. When using the ldbm backend, the
machine sits at load around 0.1 and 2% or 3% cpu usage. I switch to bdb
backend and my load jumps to 14 or so, searches take seconds to complete
(of course slows down as the load gets higher). At that point, the
acceptance of new incoming connects gets degraded enough that it drops
out of the load balancer until OpenLDAP catches up on things. In short,
I wasn't able to get it to work. I had to go back to ldbm. I'll keep
hacking away at it.
Well, since you are using a version of BDB that is recommended you not use,
all bets are off. On my AMD boxes, I get some 13,000 searches/second using
BDB as the backend (bdb 4.2.52+patches) on a 1 million entry database.
As for your conf file, I don't see any idlcachesize setting.
As for DB_CONFIG, a general rule to start with is:
Cache size should be size of id2entry.bdb + 10%, which in your case means
your DB_CONFIG file is not set up correctly for the cachesize.
52428800 (your cache size setting) vs 64372736 (size of your id2entry.bdb
file)
