Rich, I have another question regarding the Berkley 4.2 (32bit) "migration" to 4.2 (64 bit): First of all, the migration process is fine and the new 64 bit Berkley DB handles even the old files. The search performance is more or less the same as it was before. However, the add/delete operation is not good. The performance decreased by 4 times. The entire build process is identical (besides the enable-64bit switch). Can you shed some light on that? Do you have the same experience?

If so, then yes. You will first have to export your databases to ldif e.g. for a Fedora DS 1.0.4 installation: cd /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/db ../db2ldif -n userRoot -a `pwd`/userRoot.ldif ../db2ldif -n NetscapeRoot -a `pwd`/NetscapeRoot.ldif ... repeat for each database instance The migration script will look for a file called /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/db/<db instance name>.ldif and use that rather than the binary files. You should also run the migration script with the -x option to force it to use cross platform mode. > > Thanks, > -Reinhard > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- > > -- > Fedora-directory-users mailing list > Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users >
