Hello, Ville;

After I import about 1400 accounts to a new database (ebiRoot, People subtree), I get lot of errors when I run verify-db.pl (slapd has been stopped):

Verify log files in db ... Good
Verify db/ebiRoot/uid.db4 ... Good
Verify db/ebiRoot/mail.db4 ...
DB ERROR: db_verify: Page 37: out-of-order key at entry 247
DB ERROR: db_verify: Page 37: out-of-order key at entry 503
...

Same error for ancestorid.db4, objectclass.db4, parentid.db4, cn.db4, givenName.db4 and sn.db4.

How about id2entry.db4?  Is it broken?  (It's a primary db file.)


I have run db2index and re-run verify-db.pl but I don't see any difference. Here is what db2index says about ebiRoot:

[29/Mar/2007:12:04:26 +0100] upgrade DB - ebiRoot: Start upgradedb.

Does that WARNING "No other process is alloed to access the database" mean something is wrong?

No, that's just a warning not to access the backend ebiRoot.


How can I locate those "out-of order keys" the db_verify lists? I tried with dbscan but I don't think I'm giving the right entry id:

Right.  247 is the Berkeley DB's internal id.


$ ./dbscan -K 247 -f db/ebiRoot/mail.db4
Can't set cursor to returned item: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found

What happens if you just run dbscan for all the keys in mail.db4 (without the -K option)? E.g., ./dbscan -n -r db/ebiRoot/mail.db4
Do you get any errors?

Is there a way to find out which entries are causing the problem? Can there be illegal characters in the entries?

Could it be possible to share your data with us? (sample data would be good.)
Thanks,

If I import a considerably smaller set of entries (120), I get no errors. I noticed there was a similar thread here but no conclusion:

http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx/msg04461.html

Sorry for so many questions, I've spent couple of days trying to solve the problem.

If I delete a database with the Console, it leaves behind couple of index files:

-rw-------  1 w3secure systems 16384 Mar 28 17:05 ancestorid.db4
-rw-------  1 w3secure systems    18 Mar 28 17:03 DBVERSION
-rw-------  1 w3secure systems 32768 Mar 28 17:05 id2entry.db4

These index files don't seem to shrink when new entries are imported. dbscan still shows the deleted entries in id2entry.

I noticed a problem when I import a small set of entries, delete the database, import large set of entries and if I query the entries, I get the entries from the first set (they don't exist in the second set). I can reproduce the problem. If I delete ancestorid.db4 and id2entry.db4 manually when I delete the database, I don't have this problem. Is there a reason why those two files are not deleted? Or can this whole thing be caused by corrupted data?
