| Summary | 0001363: DHCPd slow startup |
| Description | Seen in inline mode when there's huge lease files (a lot of devices).
PacketFence can take up to 3 minutes to start due to the slow start up of dhcpd. |
| Steps To Reproduce | |
| Additional Information | On startup, after reading the dhcpd.conf file, dhcpd also reads the saved dhcpd.leases file

Notes |
|
|
|
Latest packaged version (dhcp-3.0.5-29.el5_7.1): 2min30sec with kinda huge leases files
Latest sources version (dhcp-4.2.3-P2): 30secs with the same leases files |
|
|
|
|
|
Uploaded .spec file for 4.2.3-P2 package |
|
|
|
|
Due to some kind of problems in the 4.2.3-P2 spec file (can't manage to correctly update the 3.0 dhcp package), we decided to use a previous version which still correct the problem.
Uploaded rpm 4.1.1-9 for centos 5 x64 |
|
|
|
|
Experienced the slow dhcpd restart causing freeradius watchdog to fail because PF took too long to restart radiusd.
I wonder if we should put that rpm in our repo so that it'll be installed by default. |
|
|
|
|
I think it's really something we need to look into.
It's causing problem on a lot of client setups. |
