Hi,

caches where in autosizing mode, this seems not to work in our case (?)

grep nsslapd-cache-autosize /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ldap1/dse.ldif
nsslapd-cache-autosize: 10
nsslapd-cache-autosize-split: 40

Only when we set

nsslapd-cache-autosize: 0

and reduce all cashes by a factor of about 10 and 100 (see below):

the memory consumption keeps stable. The machine has 32 GB memory, so the values prefixed with a minus above should easyly fit.

Hi,

389 1.3.11-1-3 is the latest version on that branch and is quite widely installed. So far we are not informed of memory leaks on that release. If cache tuning are reasonable vs available memory and you suspect a leak, I would suggest to use valgrind and the suspected unindexed search.

best regards
thierry
