The issue I'm facing is related, in a general user view, is when I stop the secondary Provider2(master 2) for backup purposes using slapcat. The Provider1(master 1) continues to provide ldap service where some entrances can be created during the time backup is running(no consumer from Provider 2).

Why are you stopping the provider to do a slapcat?

Even a small number of entrances are different when consumer in Provider 2 connects to Provider 1 then syncrepl enters in the full DB search as expected.

What is your sessionlog setting on each provider for the syncprov overlay?

For definition purposes I have some memory limitations where I need to limit dncachesize for around 80% of DB entrances.

We already went through other things you could do to reduce your memory footprint in other ways. You've completely ignored that advice. As long as your dncachesize is in this state, I don't expect things to behave normally.

I could also note that when in this situation the monitor cache, in a very slow pace, changes the cache in a single entrance. Being more specific :

dn: cn=Database 1,cn=Databases,cn=Monitor structuralObjectClass: monitoredObject creatorsName: modifiersName: createTimestamp: 20090821145848Z modifyTimestamp: 20090821145848Z monitoredInfo: bdb monitorIsShadow: TRUE namingContexts: ou=CONTENT,o=domain,c=fr readOnly: FALSE monitorOverlay: syncprov olmBDBEntryCache: 19920 olmBDBDNCache: 3896287 olmBDBIDLCache: 2 olmDbDirectory: /var/openldap-data/bdb1/ entryDN: cn=Database 1,cn=Databases,cn=Monitor subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema hasSubordinates: TRUE

Stays running in the values 3896287 and 3896288. Looks like the memory re-use is being too short causing locks that takes long time causing a non synchronization.

What value did you set for "cachefree"?

PS-> I could not put the file in the openldap ftp. It says device full. Please let me know how can I send this file.

I've let the maintainer of the system know, hopefully there'll be space available soon.
