Back in the days of OpenLDAP 2.1 with Berkeley DB 4.1.25.3 we used to have to &#39;reload&#39; out backend database occasionally as non-indexed reads would get slower and slower over time. The &#39;reload&#39; entailed:<br>
<ul><li>stop slapd</li><li>slapcat the contents to an .ldif file<br></li><li>remove the database files</li><li>slapadd the .ldif file to create a new, fresh db instance</li><li>start slapd</li></ul><br>Then our performance problems went away. Re-indexing didn&#39;t do the trick.<br>
<br>Is such occasional re-building of the backend database recommended in OpenLDAP 2.4.25 with Berkeley DB 4.8.30?<br><br>Thank you,<br>Mark<br><br><br>
