Fixed in OpenLDAP 2.3.35:
Fixed slapd syncrepl delta-sync modlist free (ITS#4904)
I suggest you upgrade your master, given that 2.3.30 is already known to
have an issue with delta-sync. Also, rather than just stopping slapd and
running slapindex, you may want to stop slapd, go to the cn=log db, and
remove the index bdb files (keeping the database bdb files, like
id2entry.bdb and dn2id.bdb), and then run slapindex, so that the old index
files are completely purged. I'll also note that 2.3.38 is the current
stable release, so there are many other good reasons to upgrade. ;)
Thank you for the advice. An upgrade to 2.3.38 was already planned
for other reasons but now I have good reason to push up the timeline.
This with Red Hat RHL5 and Fedora FC6:
Even with OL 2.3.38 at two different sites I experienced the same
problem that caused much head-banging until I finally found out what was
happening.
The delta-syncrepl directory was becoming corrupted and all
MOD/DEL/MODRDN (all updates) were hanging slapd. When I (on my test
machine) deleted the whole directory content - apart from DB_CONFIG -
and restarted slapd, the content was recreated and things went back to
normal. Doing a db_recover -c hadn't had any effect ...
