Hi,
I use openldap 2.3.35 with the following bdb configuration.

database        bdb
....
checkpoint      1000000 10

In my DB_CONFIG file I have :

set_flags  DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

There ise a great LDAP read/write activity on my server.

I notice that every 10 minutes some of my search requests receive randomly an
error 3 (Time Limit Exceeded) within one or two seconds while I'm using the
slapd default timelimit (3600 seconds).

I think a relation exists between this error and the checkpoint activity (slapd
is inclined to generate unjustified error 3 at checkpoint time) .
Is it possible to study this problem ?

I can send more information if required.

Thanks for your help
Best regards
