Let me put things more clear: it is a 32 bit Ubuntu-8.04 (yes I know, very old) with this version: 2.4.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.5 There is a master and two slaves. I prefer not to upgrade for some non-ldap reasons. All config is AFAIK in slapd.conf, there is no slapd.d directory. The database contains *tens* of entries, when I open the database with ldapvi I find 93 entries. IOW: this is a very very small database. Let me put it this way: The only files that are regularly altered are these files: __db.001 __db.002 __db.004 What happens if I symlink these files to a RAMDISK? And what happens after a reboot or power outage? Do I get a corrupted database?
