What happens if I symlink these files to a RAMDISK? And what happens after a reboot or power outage? Do I get a corrupted database?
as others have said before configuring a shm_id would prevent those files from being generated in the first place as berkeley db locks, cache and such would then be in sys v shared memory and not in file backed shared memory.
Yes, but this is an old version (2008), there is no cn=config directory. AFAIK there is no way to set the olcDbShmKey. Or am I missing something somewhere?
