Ondřej,
I'm aware that doing the initial sync via accesslog is not the best idea, but first I wanted to check whether it works at all, and it also seems to be a good indicator whether the size of the databases is large enough (I'm new to mdb, and unfortunately SLES does not ship the mdb tools with OpenLDAP). And I'm using 11 equality only indices.
Indices on the main DB have no correlation to the size of the accesslog DB, which has its own set of required indices. The reason why the accesslog tends to be *larger* than the main DB is it records all change traffic (at least with a minimum of just delta-syncrepl and/or session log). Now, if you never have changes, or you have very few changes in your environment, and you had a very large main database, then it's possible the accesslog DB would be smaller than the main DB. Additionally, the accesslog is generally configured to hold all changes over a span of time (I've generally done 1-2 weeks).
So the size of the accesslog DB is determined by a number of things:
* What operations you specifically have logged into it (changes (delta-syncrepl) or more) * How long it's configured to keep those changes in the accesslog DB * The rate at which recorded operations occur on your primary database
