Issue ID: 10156 Summary: Any recorded crash-consistency bugs/vulnerabilities in LMDB for study? Product: LMDB Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: yilegu@cs.washington.edu Target Milestone: ---
Dear LMDB developers,
Hello! I am Michael Gu, a CS PhD student at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Baris Kasikci. We are building a software testing tool that can test the crash-consistency of POSIX applications. The tool also supports testing MMIO-based applications and we think LMDB is a perfect evaluation target.
We are wondering if there are any recorded crash consistency bugs/vulnerabilities during the development of the LMDB database. If so, could you kindly provide some pointers to which version of the LMDB database has such issues and if possible the Github commit or Issue ID on OpenLDAP issue tracking system correspondingly?
Thank you so much in advance!
Bests, Michael Gu

--- Comment #1 from Howard Chu hyc@openldap.org --- The ITS is for bug reports, not for information requests. Closing this ticket.
There have never been any crash consistency bugs in LMDB. It was designed from day 1 to be crash proof and the implementation has never had any crash consistency bugs. I suggest you read thru the openldap-devel archives for discussions of alleged (and disproven) crash consistency issues, e.g. https://lists.openldap.org/hyperkitty/list/openldap-devel@openldap.org/threa...
