Hello,
I tried to use 'db_archive' to figure, which of those many log.* files already accumulated I can safely remove. Unluckily it didn't print any name, albeit there're 170 file and according to 'fuser log.*' only the last one is held open by a process (the slapd one).
After restarting slapd db_archive prints 169 file names, to be precise all but the last.
So it seems slapd keeps used BDB in a state it does not release the logs for archival and removal.
I assume it's me that has to configure slapd or BDB environment appropriately, but unluckily I don't know which setting would have the desired effect.
Any help on this? I tried to find something in Admin Guide and man pages, but I must have missed it. I only saw auto remove settings, which is not what I was out for ... I want to remove by myself, after keeping a backup for recovery.
I'm using OpenLDAP 2.4.20 compiled against Berkeley 4.7.
Thank for any help, and regards,
Peter

What is your 'checkpoint' or 'olcDbCheckPoint' setting for this OpenLDAP "database" ?

Thanks for pointing this out. It's not set at all, so according to 'man slapd-hdb' it should be zero and therefore disabled, right?
I'll set it and see if this solves my problem. Thanks again.

Changing the mentioned setting did in fact help. Thanks a lot!!!
