 In general slapd writes to disk as soon as possible, depending on
 pending read operations, that is, a delay of a few seconds my
 occur. Not writing to disk for a few month seems to  be quite odd.If
 you use a bdb or hdb database you might try to  recover the database
 by means of db_recover.
In order to force slapd to write to disk you may define a checkpoint in
slapd.conf(5)
