Hi,

Fairly late to get into this discussion but I'll air my thoughts anyway.

Actually I have run into issues with 2.1+BDB on a SuSE system, on reiserfs.
And more people have, apparently, to the point where they have documented
how to reconfigure to use ldbm:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/rsimai_slox_ldap.html

So I'd suggest significant testing on Debian, to see whether it is a general
problem with bdb & those filesystems or SuSE specific, and stick to ldbm by
as the default until we're sure it is no problem with us.


Regards,

Filip
