[Freeipa-users] size of DIRSRV database file

[Marisa Sandhoff]

Dear all,

our freeipa (4.1.4) environment manages about 60 users and 250 hosts.
Trying to find out why the disk of our freeipa server is getting tight,
we saw that the database files


[root at ipa cldb]# ls -lh
total 4.9G
-rw------- 1 dirsrv dirsrv  32M Aug 30 08:10
9b098085-8a0c11e5-b48de780-506eafe9_5645e941000000600000.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 dirsrv dirsrv    0 Aug  9 14:32

-rw------- 1 dirsrv dirsrv 4.9G Aug 30 08:23

in

[root at ipa cldb]# pwd
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-PLEIADES-UNI-WUPPERTAL-DE/cldb

are really huge ...

We think that the database is quite big for our not too huge environment
... are there any possibilities in freeipa to reduce the size of the
database files?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best regards,
Marisa
