Migrate now or migrate later when ldbm is removed. BDB is faster and offers more backup/recovery features than ldbm.
yeah we have to decide fast, and look like all eyes on me now for making
this move :)

and now slapd is starting, i have to run 'slapd_db_recover' to get rid of
warning..
ldbm_back_db_open: unclean shutdown detected; database may be inconsistent
That message is provided only as an indicator that your back-ldbm database is likely to be corrupt, and I mean in a bad way. Running db_recover will NOT fix any inconsistencies in a back-ldbm database or perform any meaningful recovery. Notice that slapd didn't say it was attempting recovery. What cleared the warning was simply starting slapd and shutting it down properly. The database remains potentially corrupt. The only _certain_ way to recover from this is to reload the database from an ldif backup.
