Hello,

 I have recently migrated my openldap server from hdb to mdb. In

this kind of database you configure the maximal database size with maxsize option.

 Although I have configure this option with 8GB, more than the

double of my actual database size, I would like to know if there is any way to calculate the remaining size.

 According to [1] you can get the actual size with a du. But my

problem is that I'm using zfs with a compressed file system, so du reports the compressed size, not the real one.

Addressing this from the filesystem side, rather than openldap, "du -A" reports the apparent size rather than the used size - this gives you the file sizes without compression. That's for FreeBSD, I have not used zfs on linux, but it looks like "du --apparent-size" should do the same thing.
