I'd like to clarify the requirements for the mdb maxsize parameter. According to the current admin guide: "This should be the largest that the database is ever anticipated to grow" It can possibly be changed later, but maybe not ;)
I change the maxsize of my db all the time, while slapd is running, without issue, as long as the maxsize is not attempted to be set to less than value of the actual size of the DB.
