[Fedora-directory-users] Create Browsing Index gets stuck

[Ville Silventoinen]

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!
