[Samba] Repacking database from v1 to v2 format: how long does it take?

[Francesco Malvezzi]

hi all,

I updated a small domain with 8k object to samba-4.11.0 and the database
conversion from v1 to v2 didn't take a noticeable time.

On the other hand, in a larger domain with 67k object, where the
sudo ./bin/samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix
takes ~40 minutes, 2 hours and half were not enough to complete the
conversion.

Is it a couple of hours something expected if dbcheck takes so much time?

Is it maybe my AD db to be pathologic?

Can you share your conversion time experiences?

thank you,

Franz
