Re[2]: OpenLDAP 2.x To Do List: back-bdb



Hello Kurt,

First, slapd-bdb(5) manpage may refer to db_archive(1) which
discovers online backup scenarios:

http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/utility/db_archive.html

The reason is that transaction logs are growing and OpenLDAP does not
seem to address this problem. I have seen some talks in openldap-devel
regarding back-bdb2. Some people talking about it in openldap-software
nowdays. Sorry, if I missed something.

Second, do You find reasonable to implement the following BDB
options:

1) Size of the in-memory log buffer.
2) Directory to be used as the location of logging files.
3) Maximum size of a single file in the log.
4) Size of the underlying logging subsystem region (BDB4).

These options are considered `fine-tuning' options.
Man page slapd-bdb(5) needs to be updated.
Readers should be referred to the following Sleepycat docs:

http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/api_c/env_set_lg_dir.html
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/api_c/env_set_lg_max.html

BDB4:

Thank You.
