The possible problem I see with that setup is what happens if the
slapcat occurs during an update from the provider to the consumer ?
I'm not sure why you feel it is necessary to set the server read-only
before you run slapcat anyway. Do you actually have a process that knows
exactly what changes occurred in any given second, so that, if say, your
backup starts at 1:00:00, you can then replay all the changes from that
point in time?
If you do, then it doesn't matter whether or not it was in read-only.
Simply replay the changes. If you don't, then it doesn't matter whether or
not it was in read-only, because you don't know what changes happened after
that point.
I honestly am not aware of anyone who bothers to put their DB into
read-only before slapcatting, although they may be out there.
