Hello,
Hi Tony,
This is due to a common mistake of using "attrs=*", which removes the operational attributes that syncrepl uses to track changes. I really wish I knew where people got this from, because 99.999999% of the time you do not want to use this value. You should not specify the attrs= line at all in a syncrepl configuration unless you really really need to limit replication in some way. If you want to keep the attrs line, change it to attrs="*,+" so that all attributes are replicated.
thank you Quanah, very much appreciated! I copied the config from some howto and didn't really understand how each option works.
Regards, Tony

Update: the deletion still happens after I commented out the attrs line, or changed it to attrs="*,+". I tried to comment out other options as well, and it seems that after leaving out these options the problem is gone:
#filter="(objectClass=*)" #scope=sub #schemachecking=off
I don't really understand the impact of each; I post it here in case it might be helpful for someone else.

Hi Tony,
Did you reload your replica after fixing the syncrepl stanza? If you hadn't, it meant that all of your entries in the replica continued to be broken, which is why deletions continued.
#filter="(objectClass=*)" #scope=sub #schemachecking=offI don't really understand the impact of each; I post it here in case it might be helpful for someone else.
Those are already the default values. Commenting them out would have had no effect. See above.
