Re: Adding new Indexes while the directory is running



(Try it and see?)

When I tried adding an index with the online config the indexing happened in the backgound, as near as I could tell. At least my logs stopped pointing out the indexing opportunity, and an index file was generated in the db dir.

My experience was on an unloaded lab slapd, though.
