Just a note - OpenLDAP 2.3 does the database recovery automatically as needed.Your version of OpenLDAP is pretty old; you should definitely upgrade to
at least 2.2.26.
Upgrading to 2.2.26 won't fix this problem (although it is still a good idea for other reasons).
Eric, you should ensure that database recovery is run at startup, otherwise you may lose transactions which are in the transaction log files.
