you fail to note what release you are using of OpenLDAP or BDB.  There were known issues with some earlier releases failing to checkpoint correctly.

OpenLDAP 2.3.28

I've no idea the version of BDB - how would I find this out ?

You also fail to note your checkpoint parameter in slapd.conf.

There doesn't seem to be a checkpoint setting in either slapd.conf or the DB_CONFIG file.

Should there be ?

Also, rather than manually deleting logs, you can set BDB up to do it for you. See the various options that can be set in DB_CONFIG.

Yes, this can be specified with DB_LOG_AUTO_REMOVE but I wish to backup the log files before I remove them which is why I wish to do this manually.
