I've also had problems with GDBM with corrupted indexes,and I'm in the process of
switching to Berkeley

So, which is the most stable configuration in your opinion? Is it openldap 2.0.25
+ BDB 4.0.14 using ldbm backend?
Also, which is the fastest configuration in order to add about 6500000 entries
with slapadd? I've tried openldap 2.1.3 + BDB 4, with nosync and a lot of cache,
and it gets slower and slower (I have only one disk, and it writes *a lot* of
logs), so I'm going to try 2.0.25 with ldbm backend (I suppose this won't write
logs...)

Thanks,
