I'm not sure on this one.

No, you will need to slapcat the database and then slapadd it when changing 
the BDB version.  Also, there are changes to how ACL's work between OL 2.1 
and 2.2 that you probably want to test if you move from 2.1 to 2.2.

It isn't a straightforward move, but it is one that should result in a more 
reliable and speedy server.
