Re: MDB_MAP_FULL with plenty of free pages

Hello,

  We use OpenLDAP 2.4.57 under RHEL8 with a configuration with 2 directories in MM and 2 replicas. We only write on one of the masters. The size of the LMDB database grows following writes of members of large groups (2000 members) by a batch which runs every 10 minutes. The base grows regularly and sometimes undergoes significant jumps until it reaches its maximum size. The lmdb_stat -ef command indicates that very few pages are used and everything else is free pages. The used pages are stable.       And yet, it is no longer possible to write in the directory. Sometimes it's on the master directory, sometimes on replicas where syncrepl fails.   2021-03-24T11: 52: 59.978157 + 01: 00 int-ohz-infra1 slapd debug local4 25076 - mdb_id2entry_put: mdb_put failed: MDB_MAP_FULL: Environment mapsize limit reached (-30792) "uid = us-00000301, ou = users, dc = bst, dc = ocn, dc = infra, dc = ftgroup " 2021-03-24T11: 52: 59.978184 + 01: 00 int-ohz-infra1 slapd debug local4 25076 - syncrepl_null_callback: error code 0x50 2021-03-24T11: 52: 59.978202 + 01: 00 int-ohz-infra1 slapd debug local4 25076 - syncrepl_entry: rid = 001 be_modify failed (80) 2021-03-24T11: 52: 59.978780 + 01: 00 int-ohz-infra1 slapd debug local4 25076 - do_syncrepl: rid = 001 rc 80 retrying   There is no transaction in progress: mdb_stat -r /var/lib/ldap/data/ Reader Table Status     pid     thread     txnid      25076 7fa0e42c5480 -      25076 7fa0977fe700 -      25076 7fa097fff700 -      25076 7fa094cfa700 -      25076 7fa086ffe700 -      25076 7fa0857fb700 -      25076 7fa0867fd700 -      25076 7fa085ffc700 -      25076 7fa074ffc700 -   The batch executes a lot of transactions < 2s. Restarting slapd does not resolve the problem. If we compact the database with mdb_copy -c, it only makes a few MB and it works again. The problem no longer appears without large groups.   Why are free pages not used? Wouldn't there be a problem with writing many multi-valued attributes?   Thank you for your help !   Jean-Charles Rogez   twitter icon <https://twitter.com/csnovidys> linkedin icon <https://www.linkedin.com/company/novidy's>   *Jean-Charles ROGEZ*   *Architecte Système* | INTEGRATION SYSTEMES | PLESSIS   Standard : +33180848010 <tel:+33180848010>   Ligne directe : <tel:r>   Mobile : <tel:>   Email : jean-charles.rogez(a)csnovidys.com <mailto:jean-charles.rogez@csnovidys.com>
