Re: Log files building up with large group

[Steve Smith <ssmith@atlassian.com>]

The BDB version is:

Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.4.20: (January 10, 2006)

It looks like checkpointing was the issue.  Having run 
'slapd_db_checkpoint -1' and 'slapd_db_archive -d' almost all the log 
files were removed.  I've setup a cron job to checkpoint and clean-out 
hourly.

Thanks for the tip about the RPMs, I'll look into doing a dedicated build.

Thanks,
Steve
