I'm not sure if directory server auto-recovery is possible with this sort of failure. You might be able to use the berkeley db command line utilities to upgrade and/or recover your database files. http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/utility/index.html - you may have to figure out which version of bdb you are using, then find the appropriate documentation - rpm -qi db4 or rpm -qi db4-utils. You might try db2ldif to export your data, then re-import using ldif2db, but that would force a replication re-init anyway. > > Howard. > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
