Hiya all, I have not actually had a problem with this yet but was wondering what you do with DB_CONFIG with a growing directory. i.e. you configure DB_CONFIG for your tree with suitable sizes for your growth predictions, fine. Then the tree grows and grows and I guess you change DB_CONFIG to reflect this. Presumably when you restart slapd the new DB_CONFIG is read and all is well. So, when you create the initial DB_CONFIG if you have enough memory is it good practice to configure it so that it uses as much memory as you can spare to contain your growing directory or should you continually change DB_CONFIG (the frequency of this depends on your directory growth rate) to reflect the size of your directory?
I would configure DB_CONFIG to handle my current size + some set of estimated growth. It is a file that will need periodic tuning if you have a database that grows over time. ;)
