If this happens again, you could try stopping the server and running slapindex rather than reloading everything.

IIRC depending on the data complete reload with slapadd can be faster than slapindex. I vaguely remember Quanah reporting test results with back-hdb a couple of years ago. Not sure about back-mdb nowadays though.

slapindex on back-mdb is faster than slapadd. But, for the problem being discussed here, slapindex is inadequate; you need a full reload with slapadd.
