yes. It run for month - and didn't restart today.

Well, we just added a new database on runtime which worked fine - 389ds
was still running. After changing a replica I wanted to restart and
resulted in the error.

How can I achive this? In dse.ldif I have:

nsslapd-errorlog-level: 32768

I increased to 3.5 GB (more I don't have at the moment in the
virtualisation host. But still the same.

I don't assume - since it worked all the time... What I could imagine is
that cangelogdb files had been smaller last reboot - so any memory limit
didn't took effect.

I already have in /etc/dirsrv.systed:

[Service]
# uncomment this line to raise the file descriptor limit
LimitNOFILE=10240
LimitCORE=infinity

Kind regards
