tags 673038 patch upstream - moreinfo thanks Hi,
Upstream seems to know about the problem and I provided a fix for them with a documentation update. Slapcat's exit code is 1 in case of missing entries thus an unsuccessful backup attempt can be detected. Since there is also a helper script for retrying mentioned in me earlier email I suggest decreasing the severity of this bug removing it from the RC list. Cheers, Balint PS: Discussion with upstream starts here: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201301/msg00195.html 2013/1/19 Balint Reczey <bal...@balintreczey.hu> > > forwarded 673038 techni...@openldap.org > thanks > > Hi, > > I have forwarded the problem to techni...@openldap.org but it has not > yet appeared in the list archive. > > It worth noting that there exists a script [1] in ldap-git-backup which > can be used for backing up LDAP databases more reliably. > > Cheers, > Balint > > [1] > https://github.com/elmar/ldap-git-backup/blob/master/README.mdown#safe-ldif > > On 06/19/2012 06:27 PM, Quanah Gibson-Mount wrote: > > --On Tuesday, June 19, 2012 2:25 PM +0200 Axel Beckert > > <a...@debian.org> wrote: > > > >> Hi Steve, > >> > >> Steve Langasek wrote: > >>> > According to the slapcat man page it should be "always safe to run > >>> > slapcat with the slapd-bdb(5) ... backends" even if slapd runs.
