Hi,
Because of a sputid script I wrote that was unduly modifying my LDAP directory, I endup exhausting my disk space with Berkeley DB log files of the type log.00000xxxx.
My LDAP uses a database of type bdb, I have the option
dbconfig set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE
and thought it would take care of removing the log files. It seems not so I must be missing something.
(As for back-up safety, I have a script that does a slapcat every 2 hours keeping 10 days of back-ups, plus nightly back-up on a back-up server, so removing BDB logs should be quite safe)
Any help will be warmly welcome.
Best regards,
Olivier

You're probably not checkpointing often enough for your workload. Read the slapd-bdb man page and/or Admin Guide and/or list archives on the subject.

It would be good to know the openldap release, as well. I recall with the OpenLDAP 2.1 series for a while checkpoint didn't work, and you had to run the bdb checkpoint binary from cron manually to make sure it was happening.
