I try to modify a hdb periodically (often). After a while the underlying database seems to be swamped down. If I look in the directory log files are piling up. I run db_archive periodically to clean up the log files and I also run db_deadlock in parallel. I do not run db_checkpoint as this as far as I understand is done by the backend. Strangely the problem seems to start after about 2 h if I start from a clean database. When I try to lower the frequency of the updates it still seems to happen after 2 h. I use openLDAP v2.3.24 with Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.4.20
If you set the right BDB options in DB_CONFIG, I can't see any reason to run any of the db_* commands.
In any case, I've used hdb since OpenLDAP 2.3.11, and I've not had any problems with it swamping down from modifications. I'd check your DB_CONFIG settings.
