As recently as November 2004, I was seeing serious lockups and dataloss
with BDB backends, due to upstream bugs in the BDB integration, and all
our LDAP setups ended up using LDBM due to reliability concerns.
These BDB reliability concerns are tracked in Bug #190165
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=190165
And look at the pile of bugs indicating slapd lockups when using BDB:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=slapd
Yes, these are old bugs, but they are still open. Is there any
indication from upstream that the problem is fixed?
Now, with LDBM broken as well, I am not sure what to do, really.
Switching to BDB is really risky -- I haven't seen the it work reliably
at all. It has been severely broken in every version I tried in the
2.0.x and 2.2.x series of OpenLDAP, both from OpenLDAP and from the
corresponding Debian packages.

martin
