I have a relatively small OpenLDAP DB (ldif backup file is less than 7M and total size of *bdb files is less than 20M), that handles mostly read requests and few write requests. The servers are configured to run in a cluster env using master-master replication. Recently, the servers ran out of space as the transaction log files accumulated. We deleted the old log files manually (as attemp on using "DB_ARCHIVE -d" failed) and were able to restart one of the servers, however noticed the transaction log files (with default size of 10M) were created too frequently ever since (can be 80 files a day). In peak hours, the 10M transaction log files was generated every min I am sure there were not so many write activities.   Does anyone know what could cause the creation of the tranaction log files so frequently? In addition, I had set "set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE" flag along with check point settings in one of the servers running in cluster, but the log files were not removed automatically. Am I supposed to set the configurations on each server in the cluster to make it working on any of the servers?

Here are some settings and server information:

- OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.23 on linux

- In slapd.conf: database    bdb ... checkpoint 1024 15 - In DB_CONFIG #the cache size is a little too big, we will tune it down later. Hope this will not be an issue set_cachesize 0 268435456 1 set_lg_regionmax 262144 set_lg_bsize 2097152 set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE - a sublist of log files:
