RE: Recovery after system shutdown



Hello ,

 

I did db_recover in the bdb database directory and I am able to start slapd, but may be the data as you said, would have been last. I will check that.. Thanks

 

Arunachalam.

It's clear from his error log that such actions will be useless. His

transaction log is clearly missing a large amount of data. The BDB transaction
