Hi!
I just configured multi-master replication (with N=3) for testing purposes, and I just found an annoying problem, under these conditions:
1. Configure a N number of "masters", and have them replicate happily (this is important). 2. Stop slapd service on all of the servers. 3. Start slapd service on any number of servers < N (ie, leave at least one stopped). 4. Delete any entry (yes, it only fails with deletes, you can combine changes: modify, add, and delete, and only deletes will fail to replicate). 5. Stop slapd service on *all of the servers again* (this is the most important part). 6. Star slapd service on all the servers.
You will see that, on the servers that you left down on step 3, the deleted entries are still present.
If you leave at least one server up, it replicates just fine, the problem is when you stop all of the masters.
More info:
OpenLDAP version: 2.4.13 OS: Debian GNU/Linux Etch Overlays: smbk5pwd (only samba enabled), syncprov (off course).
Any ideas? If you need more info, just ask.
Thanks in advance,
