Hi Ulrich, the size of an accesslog entry has to be considerably larger than the size of the original entry, for starters it has to communicate a lot of additional information/metadata about the operation. And that's assuming you only enabled accesslog to log the bare minimum needed for delta-syncrepl use. If you enabled any more (e.g. logsuccess false), enabling accesslog and doing a live bootstrap would never strike me as a good combination. In that case I would either slapadd from a recent backup or configure accesslog afterwards. > As a matter of fact I suspect the unexpected size of my accesslog is > due to the number of indices being configured (I have configured a few > more than absolutely required). Unless you created any substring indexes or went really overboard, I doubt it should cost that much.
