Hi, today I'm finally succeed to export the huge DB with the 64bit build, solaris8/sparc, shminfo_shmmax=536870912 DB_CONFIG whit set_cachesize 0 384000000 1 and using

slapcat -f slapd.conf -l producer_dump.ldif

FYI, here the final memory allocation and output ldif file:

PID RSS VSZ %MEM TIME STIME COMMAND 10294 7491744 7497840 93.1 02:22:27 10:35:37 slapcat

ls -la -rw-r--r-- 1 test other 10486259712 Oct 19 13:16 producer_dump.ldif

therefore, about 7,5 GB of RAM for ca. 10 GB of ldif

Any suggestion, cue?

Paolo
