I will raise the issue with Debian and see whether they would be willing to update the
package in Debian 11 / bullseye.
(
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1029040 is indirectly related, which
means that the OP and us are not the only ones affected)
My understanding is that updating 389-ds-base to v1.4.4.19 (the latest tag I could find
on github,
https://github.com/389ds/389-ds-base/tree/389-ds-base-1.4.4.19) would contain
this fix, right ?
Yes it is fixed in 389-ds-base-1.4.4.16

Yes, definitely. Debian 12 / bookworm is providing v2.3.1 and has recently become the new
Debian stable. But upgrading obviously impacts other packages and we are still on RHEL 8
(and therefore 389-ds v1.4.3.*) for the IPA servers. While we have already successfully
tested Debian 12 + RHEL 9 with our application, it did raise some unrelated issues with
the IPA client (which are now solved in Debian 12 and on their way to RHEL 8 and 9).
So, we still have to live with the current setup for a few months, and if we don't
get this fixed in Debian 11, I am thinking of what kind of workaround we could put in
place, and I would be grateful for a quick feedback from your side :
- Is it reasonable to configure a very long delay for the compacting?
- Or should we rather rather restart dirsrv periodically in order to reset the next
delay?
I appreciate that neither is ideal, but this are small instances which can be down from
time to time (typically at night) and a restart of the LDAP server is transparent for the
application, as long as no one is trying to log in while it is down.
If you need to find a temporary workaround, I think promoting the server
to be a supplier could be a workaround. Drawback is that it will store
changes in changelog but if there not a lot of changes it has no disk
impact neither significant response time impact.
Thanks again for your help,
Mathieu
