Fedora directory users - Oct 2009 - [389-users] Importing a Large LDIF File

Hi All,

I am fairly new to LDAP administration and was wondering approximately how
long it should take to import approximately 500,000 user records.

I have tried from both the administration console as well as the from the
command line and everything seems to be taking forever (days).  I don''t
have
a lot to compare it to, but I have a feeling that even with this many
records into a single LDAP instance should go a lot faster.

Thanks!

That will heavily depends on the hardware used, cpu arch, i/o for disk.
An "old" hardware can get a few hundred entries per sec.
You should be able to get several thousand entries per second with 
"recent" hw, should reasonably be under 15 minutes.
A small virtual machine can get 500 entries per seconds, a VM running on 
a "good" host will get more.

I had created 60,000,000 user records for test. It took less than 1 day.
