Re: eliminating log files

[Allan Streib <astreib@indiana.edu>]

I don't know of a way to prevent it; they are a necessary part of bdb's 
transaction processing, as far as I know.

You can look at the set_lg_dir directive in DB_CONFIG to put them 
somewhere else (e.g. another disk that has more room) and the 
set_lg_max directive to set the maximum size of any one file.

Also the db_archive utility will tell you which ones are no longer 
involved in an open transaction and can be deleted.

See the Berkeley DB documentation at www.sleepycat.com, and the 
OpenLDAP FAQ.
