[Fedora-directory-users] Replication - consumer failed to replay change

[Kevin M. Myer]

Hello,

I have three instances of FDS running - two are in a multimaster config 
(directory1 and directory2), with all subtrees replicated and one is a 
dedicated slave (garnet), with half a dozen subtrees replicated.  
directory1 and directory2 are running FDS 7.1, garnet is running FDS 
1.0.1.

Most of the writes go to directory1, and although I have not tested 
writing to every subtree from directory1 -> directory2 and directory2 
-> directory1, replication seems to be working fine for the most part.

However, I noticed yesterday morning the following entry:

[16/Dec/2005:09:06:16 -0500] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=IU13" 
(directory2:636): Consumer failed to replay change (uniqueid 
6a76611a-1dd211b2-8027b642-689d0000, CSN 43a2c9d8000000010000): 
Operations error. Will retry later.

This is repeated every five minutes to the present time.  Is there a 
way to look at the changelog entries to see what modification caused 
this problem?  And if not, whats the best way to go about clearing up 
the error?

Also, is FDS smart enough so that if you have a two-server multimaster 
replication setup, and you use one master to initialize the other, 
which has an existing replication setup with the master, that it won't 
send the changes back?  In other words, if I have directory1 and 
directory2, and they are setup in multimaster, with replication 
agreements in place for a subtree, and there's a problem in the subtree 
on directory2, can I use directory1 to initialize directory2, or will 
directory2 then turn around and try to initialize directory1?
