Re: What slurpd is waiting for?

Hello

Yes, i think so. My status file is empty because the master is never 
connected to the slave. Sure it is! My slapd only had start to producing 
replicas and my slurpd only had start to 'gathering' it to the private 
replog. When it'll be fat enough it'll connect to the slave to flush the 
replicas. We could wait for years before it'll just try to unload!
