-LLL -w <> -b "dc=example,dc=com"
dn: dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
dc: example
o: Example
description: Example
dn: ou=global,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
ou: global
dn: ou=users,ou=global,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top
ou: users

Why are you using ldapadd? Did you not read the process Michael and I both
described?
It sounds like your mdb database is owned by root while your slapd process
runs as a different user?

Generally, you slapcat your existing HDB database to an LDIF file, update
your configuration for slapd to use MDB instead, and then use slapadd to
import the LDIF file.

Same thing that happens in any such case.. it'll start swapping.

Ok, but are there any casses where DB size can grow bigger then RAM and
what will happen in that case?

It uses RAM in accordance to the size of the database, not the maxsize.
Generally, you set the maxsize value to something really large and forget
about it. I would note you already have a fairly large database. However,
MDB should use significantly *less* RAM than your old back-hdb database
overall, because your old back-hdb DB had to use multiple caches in RAM as
a part of the slapd process (cachesize, idlcachesize, dncachesize) in
addition to the BDB cache (set_cachesize in DB_CONFIG).

Re: Initialize ldap with mdb

Quanah,
Quick question regarding "maxsize" in mdb, slapd-mdb man page says we have
to preallocate the db size based on future growth of your data, that means
will it create a data.mdb of maxsize? what i read from docs is, mdb loads
whole database into memory, is it right? if my db size is grater then my
RAM how does mdb handles? do we have any configuration options to set RAM
allocation for mdb as i may have other applications sharing the same RAM?
Thanks,
Ram
