i'm using openldap on top of RHEL 4 and FreeBSD 5.3 and i experienced the problem on both. my encounters were from a simple password changing to adding an entry. Hardware issues pertinent to processor and ram would be unlikely. I'm using RHEL 4 on top of an HP blade G2, 2.4 GHz w/ 1G RAM and the BSD on a lowly P3 600 w/ 256 MB ram. Right now, my eyes are on disabling replication and see if it has got something to do with it...or maybe Perl?
Thanks for your inputs sir. Paolo Alexis Falcone wrote:
Normally OpenLDAP's bdb backend won't exhibit such weirdness as it's touted to be transaction-safe (as opposed to the old ldbm - fast but not safe). A side effect would be that a bdb backend would impose higher I/O. Have you absolved hardware problems as probable causes? You've also tried checking for possible kernel issues or BerkeleyDB issues (although it's a bit unlikely unless you roll your own versions, unsupported by vendors at most, of those software).
