Ah ha! That probably explains how my database magically went RO. It happened right after trying to create a browsing index, which locked up the GUI. I had not associated the two events until know as I did not immediately realize the database was RO, at the time. We had maybe a dozen entries when trying to create the index so size does not appear to be an issue with the bug.

Cheers,

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed or reported as a bug. I

tried

to find the bug report, but couldn't find it so here goes:

Quite often when I have removed all entries and put them back and

tried to

create a Browsing Index with the Console, the Console gets stuck. I

have

few times left it for hours but nothing happens. In this case I

deleted

the previous browsing index from the GUI and tried to create it again

for

People with 1400 entries. The GUI tells me it has done "Adding

browsing

index entries to server" (ticked) but it is still "Creating browsing

index

in server" (not ticked). It stays in this window forever. The "Server status for creating browsing index" window is empty.

I cannot see any error messages in slapd-HOSTNAME/logs/errors or admin-serv/logs/error log. The startconsole terminal doesn't show any

Java

exceptions. Is there anywhere else I could look for clues?

If I force the window to close, the database goes to read-only mode. I close the Console, shutdown the slapd, change the database back to read-write mode and restart everything. The Console shows the index

has

been created, but if I look at slapd-HOSTNAME/db/ebiRoot/ directory, I cannot see a vlv#bymccoupeopledcebidcacdcuk.db4 file, so I guess the index doesn't really exist? With just 1400 entries it's difficult to

tell.

Sometimes I do get the index created, but quite often not.

I'm using Fedora DS 1.0.4 on CentOS 4.4 with following JRE:

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_09-b01, mixed mode)

Thanks for any help!
