#5914 invalid setting of DS lock table size
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by tbordaz.

Freeipa 4.3.90 - DS 1.3.4.9

The test case is:

Install ipa-server
create a DS backup - restore DS back
  # I use to restart from that backup so
  # I do not know if it participate to the test case
  # or if the failure also happen with a fresh install
Create a large provisioning file using default values of https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-tools/blob/master/create-test-data.py
Stop IPA
Edit dse.ldif to 
   - set entry cache=200Mb
   - dbcache=100Mb
   - disable memberof (to accelerate the provisioning/error)
Start DS
ldapadd -D "cn=directory manager" -w xxx -f <provisioning_file>

Then 
 - monitor DS error log file
 - monitor db lock (ldapsearch -LLL -o ldif-wrap=no -D "cn=directory manager" -w xxx -b "cn=database,cn=monitor,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config" nsslapd-db-configured-locks nsslapd-db-current-locks nsslapd-db-max-locks)

After some time the following error appears

The setting of the size of the db lock table

dn: cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
nsslapd-db-locks: 10000  => failure
nsslapd-db-locks: 20000  => failure
nsslapd-db-locks: 100000 => success

The monitoring shows that 50000 could be enough.


mkosek: ok. FreeIPA 4.4 is about performance improvements, so adding the best known defaults would be nice. Who will do it, Thierry? We do not have much time left in 4.4.

tbordaz: there is no identified 'good' value (it basically depend how many entries will be imported), we can set a higher value just for safety in order to allow for example 100K entries import.
