Hello,

I have gotten myself a bit confused. I have gone over the the FAQ-O-Matic entries on setting DB_CONFIG: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1072.html http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1073.html http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1075.html

I am working with a rather small ldap database (roughtly 3000 entries). When I look at top I see slapd grabbing 525 MB of memeory:

PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 653 ldap 13 44 0 525M 27604K ucond 1 0:00 0.00% slapd

Is slapd really using that or is that just reserved memory?

When I db_stat my cache directory I think I am seeing that it is using 62 MB of cache (this is Delta-Sync Master, does that matter?):

<snip> db_stat-4.6 -h /var/db/openldap-data -m 62MB 513KB 900B Total cache size 1 Number of caches 1 Maximum number of caches 62MB 520KB Pool individual cache size 0 Maximum memory-mapped file size 0 Maximum open file descriptors 0 Maximum sequential buffer writes 0 Sleep after writing maximum sequential buffers 0 Requested pages mapped into the process' address space 592172 Requested pages found in the cache (99%) 1204 Requested pages not found in the cache 109 Pages created in the cache 1204 Pages read into the cache 8640 Pages written from the cache to the backing file 0 Clean pages forced from the cache 0 Dirty pages forced from the cache 0 Dirty pages written by trickle-sync thread 1313 Current total page count 1313 Current clean page count 0 Current dirty page count 8191 Number of hash buckets used for page location 594689 Total number of times hash chains searched for a page 2 The longest hash chain searched for a page 615710 Total number of hash chain entries checked for page 0 The number of hash bucket locks that required waiting (0%) 0 The maximum number of times any hash bucket lock was waited for (0%) 0 The number of region locks that required waiting (0%) 0 The number of buffers frozen 0 The number of buffers thawed 0 The number of frozen buffers freed 1381 The number of page allocations 0 The number of hash buckets examined during allocations 0 The maximum number of hash buckets examined for an allocation 0 The number of pages examined during allocations 0 The max number of pages examined for an allocation 8 Threads waited on page I/O </snip>

When different indices, id2entry and dn2entry flies are all quite small (though _db.003 is 63 mb):

Here is my DB_CONFIG as it stands:

# cache set_cachesize 0 52428800 0

# Data Directory #set_data_dir db

# Transaction Log settings set_lg_regionmax 1048576 set_lg_max 10485760 set_lg_bsize 2097152

# Delete transaction log files as soon as contents are checkpointed and are no longer needed. set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

I have the cache set to 50mb but I do not think I have this correct. Entry cache vs IDL cache vs BDB cache. Any help straightening this out would be appreciated.
