DS6 dse.ldif file keeps getting deleted

I am running Directory Server 6.3 on Solaris 10 U7. Last night I applied various system patches - none of them appear to the related to ldap or the directory server. Some times when I shutdown some thing seems to crash and the system does system dump. When I restart directory fails to start. The log shows
Configuration error The default password storage scheme SSHA could not be read
or was not found in the file /opt/ldap/slapd-server1/config/dse.ldif. It is mandatory.
the dse.ldif file is blank. Fortunately the dse.ldif.startOK is OK. It looks like it had been created or modified during a clean shutdown yesterday evening.
Any thoughts?
thanks

HI
I have about 5 GB free on the rpool volume (i.e. /, /opt etc.)
During the patching process (along with trying to get a tape drive working) I rebooted aout 3-4 times. At least twice, it looked like something panicked/crashed/dumped. My guess is that the directory server deleted the existing dse.ldif file, there was a system error, then directory server could not write the new file. it seems odd that at least twice that the crash occured immediately after the file was deleted. Would directory server crash if it can't write files? Server shutdown might take 5 min while various services are closed.
When I stop the ds-myinstance svc with "svcadm" (without rebooting) it looks like it does update dse.ldif (at least time time stamp) , and creates and dse.ldif.bak file. On restarting the service cleanly, the dse.ldif.StartOK file is updated. So it looks like directory server itself is OK but either can't write files because of some other, system-related shutdown issue..
What I may need to try is stopping directory server then shutting down the system and seeing if I get panic/coredumps/file syncs.
Thanks

  • E4200v2 - Files on USB Storage keeps getting deleted

    I have a Linksys E4200v2 is running firmware 2.1.39.145204.
    I'm attaching a 3TB Seagate Expansion external hard drive (STBV3000100) to it.
    I've made 2 partitions on the hard drive: a 2TB HFS+, and a 1TB FAT32
    My issue is that the at random times, files on my 2TB partition keep getting deleted.
    My house runs all macs so we won't need NTFS, but in order to store files larger than 4GB, we want to keep at least a part of the drive using HFS+.
    Has anyone encountered a similar issue before? I can't really pinpoint when it happens... sometimes I'll check the hard drive and see that all my folders and files have been deleted. I know it's not much to go on, but hopefully someone has seen something like this...
    I have Media Server turned on, and FTP turned off.

    I've noticed similar issues with Mac's and NTFS when you disconnect and reconnect USB external drives.
    Recommendations:
    Reformat drive NTFS if necessary.
    Once the USB drive is connected to router never disconnect it without using the safe disconnect button or power off the router first.
    Only plug the drive back into the Mac as a last resort but instead access it exclusively through the network.
    Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • File not getting deleted using File.delete()

    Hi guys,
    I have a code like this:
    File tempdir = new File("tempdir");
    tempdir.mkdir();
    File temporaryFile = new File("tempdir\tempfile.txt");
    FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(temporaryFile);
    // write data into file
    writer.flush();
    writer.close();
    try {
        // Do something
    catch (Exception e) {
        // Do something
    temporaryFile.delete();
    tempdir.delete();The program runs successfully. The directory and the file is created and data is written successfully into it. However, the file as well as directory is not getting deleted at the end of the program. I tried temporaryFile.deleteOnExit(), but this also didn't help.
    Can anyone provide some input as to what can be the possible reasons for the file not getting deleted?
    Thanks..

    I want the file to be created inside the directory I specified. Hence, I put the "\". Please let me know if there is some other way to achieve this. This way I am getting the file created at the location I want.
    One more interesting thing which I noticed. Actually this code is part of a JUnit test. In the same JUnit, I am creating new files in atleast 2-3 test methods. But the deletion of files is really random. Sometimes, 2 out of 3 get deleted, sometimes only 1 gets deleted. However, I didn't come through a single instance wherein all the 3 files got deleted. :-(
    Also, the directory is never deleted. However, I got the reason behind this. As per the File API, the directory will not be deleted if it is not empty.

  • Files keep getting corrupted.

    Heavily used, shared, files keep getting corrupted. Seems like StarOffice8 or Solaris (not sure which is responsible) doesn't do file locking! If someone opens the file, when it's already open, there's no indication of that! Obviously that can lead to edits being lost. However, the bigger problem is if 2 people save at the exact same time. In that case the file becomes completely mangled and unreadable!
    Anyone have some solutions out there?

    The Captivate version number is shown at Help > About Adobe Captivate.  But you have to be quick because it's right at the top and the list of credits start's scrolling immediately.  Annoys the heck out of me.
    Having Admin rights to your PC is not the same as Run As Administrator on an app.  It's one of the (many) changes to the Vista and Win7 OSs intended to prevent malicious software from gainin a foothold.
    If you're in a corporate IT environment chances are you don't have admin rights to your PC because that prevents people from willy nilly installing apps on their own workstations.  However, a good IT Support dude (who usually all DO have admin rights to everyone's computer) can usually configure the security privileges for a particular application to give you admin rights to it.
    In the case of Captivate 5x and Win7, the app MUST be set up to Run As Administrator.  Otherwise some things just don't work.

  • Why do my HTTPS proxy password keep getting deleted?

    In your calendar app, in the bottom middle there's the words 'calendar'. Tap on that and make sure your iPad's internal calendar is selected. What happens sometimes with mine is that it defaults to my synced calendar and not the internal one, so my internal one is there just not visible.

  • Images and videos keep getting deleted automatical...

    Recently upgraded to symbian anna for my nokia N8, but keep having problems with it. All new and old images got automatically deleted. everytime I take new photos, they automatically get deleted as soon as battery gets low or cell gets switched off or restarted for any reason. what to do? please please help!! whats the use of 12 megapixel camera if cant store photos..

    Im afraid it sounds like your device memory has corrupted, have you deleted or removed any applications or software on the device that may have caused this to happen?
    The only way to fix this problem would be to do a hard reset, However before doing this go into mass memory storage and recover whatever image, video and contact files you can (I am aware that you said most of them are .lnk now), and try to manually back up your media and information that you would like to keep, also create a full phone back up using Ovi Suite (this most likely wont be used, because if you where to use this back up after the hard reset the problem would probably persist however its nice to keep it just incase!).
    After doing a hard reset, put your phone back into Mass memory storage and manually put back your media and other information.
    If your phone still isnt fixed, restore your phone using the full back up made in Ovi Suite, created before the hard reset.
    If your problem STILL persists, You will have to take your phone to a local Nokia Care Point and have a technical expert take a look at it.
    I really hope this helps!

  • File-RFC-File-File not getting deleted.

    Hi all,
    In File-RFC-File scenario i have used "Delete" as the processing mode for Sender file adapter.RFC was execured successfully and successful message was shown in SXMB_MONI.But at the same time there was an exception thrown in sender and receiver file adapters as given below:
    Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool. com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException:unable to create new pooled resource : FTP Ex:User piuser cannot login.
    Both the CC's werein error status.
    The file from source location was not deleted even after the successful processing of the message in moni. Because of this sender file adapter was reading the same source file again and again which created multiple response entries in the moni.
    Could some one tell me why the file was not deleted from source location?How can the sender adapter read the message again when the above exception was thrown?
    Regards,
    Lekshmi.

    HI Lekshmi ,
    Check whether PIUSER has sufficent authorization ., Delete that channel and  create a dummy one to test and see whether
    you are getting the same error
    Check this threads a similar discussion is going on here , may be you need authorizations .

  • Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

    I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

    I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
    1.     I open an acrobat file.
    2.     I open a WORD file.
    3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
    4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
    5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
    I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
    Please help!
    Thank you

  • Captivate 5 files keep getting corrupted

    Our entire office all got Windows 7 (64 bit) and a lot of coworkers' Captivate 5 files are getting the same error message: the file is unable to open, the file is damage, hard disk not having space, etc.
    Are we doing something wrong? If so, how we do correct that?
    Or is there some compatibility issue between CP5 and Windows 7??
