I'm trying to get openldap to play nice with mdb given that it is the "recommended" database backend for it now- although the conf wasn't an issue excepting I'm playing with the new cn=config setup we're expected to use now as well (even though it is mainly broken).
My issue is that it seems to not respond like the older bdb/hdb databases. And when I say respond, I mean it hangs the ldapadd and makes slapd go into conniptions. I see slapd go to 100% WCPU and not come down as well as going into a uwait state. I've left it going for 10 minutes or more with no change, and I'm only adding 1 small entry of less the 10 lines. Strangely, I can still view other entries in the specific db as well access the rest of the server, which I won't complain about (aren't threads a wonderful invention? ).
So coming to the experts - got a fix at all? Or should I just go back to ye olde db backends? At this point I have a db I can't add anything to.
[...] Did you read man slapd-mdb(5), in particular on the parameters envflags and maxsize?

Is there anything specific I should look at? These options look similar to what I read in the manual for the config.
Yes, the issue you are describing is most likely based a to small database size.
Ok. I'm not sure I understand. I have the max db size set 50mb (52428800), default is 10. It currently sits at 64k. I'm adding one entry of about 10 lines, so max of a kb - but even say couple of kb it still shouldn't spit.
Are you saying I need to start with an even bigger db? Or I can't increase the size? Keeping in mind I'm just testing atm too. Once I have a complete picture I'll have a better plan for sizing in the long term. Perhaps I should backup to ldif and try again?
Although that does raise an interesting question - why would that particular fault cause slapd to increase cpu usage?
