Fixed In Version: 389-ds-base-1.2.11.15-12.el6_4
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Due to an incorrect interpretation of an error code, a directory server considered an invalid chaining configuration setting as the disk full error and shut down unexpectedly. Now, a more appropriate error code is in use and the server no longer shuts down from invalid chaining configuration settings.
