Hello, I have a problem in a production environment using Openldap 2.2.13. The problem is, even establishing a reduced cachesize for Berkeley backend, my openldap server starts to consume more and more memory until all RAM is exhausted, causing server stop running (and sometimes backend corruption). I have followed indications included in faq-o-matic to calculate an accurate cache size for BDB backend (8MB), but the problem doesn't solves. At beginning, openlaps starts with few memory (as configuration indicates) but later more and more memory is consumed by the process. Here is the information about my ldap server and service in order you can give a solution. I want that mi slapd process doesn't cosume all fisical memory, basically.
Server: - RAM: 1GB - Swap: 1GB
Openldap: - version: 2.2.13 - sizelimit: 5000
Backend: - Type: bdb - checkpoint: 512 30 - cachesize: 5000
DB_CONFIG: - Cache (8MB): set_cachesize 0 8388608 1 - Other options: set_lg_regionmax 262144 set_lg_bsize 2097152 set_lg_dir /var/lib/ldap/logs set_lg_max 52428800 set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE - dn2id.bdb size: 177MB - id2entry.bdb size: 555MB
Top information: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ SWAP COMMAND 12547 ldap 19 0 509m 139m 13m S 1.3 13.9 9:30.32 369m slapd
If I execute a pmap over slapd PID, there is a lot of RAM used by 'anon' piece of memory. Any commentary will be very appreciated. Thanks.
