I think the best option, as you suggest, is to recreate everything. Is it enough to remove all /var/lib/ldap contents, restart the ldap service, and populate all again? My intention is to have 8M entries as max.

Thanks for your help

There is zero need to recreate everything. Dieter is wrong. Simply stop slapd, create the DB_CONFIG file, run db_recover to regenerate the bdb database profile, then start slapd. This has been the standard way to do this since OpenLDAP 2.1. Dieter should know this.

I have experienced some problems in the past, that's why I prefer a clean recreation.
