Thanks for the reply.

These are log files created automatically for the purpose of auto-recovering the LDAP from a failure. In most systems I have, there are just 2 - 6 files (50mb each) in the logs dir. These files are 50mb due to the "Transaction Log Settings" in the DB_CONFIG. Increasing / decreasing the configured size has no affect on the problem. These files normally "track" changes made to LDAP DB via the Berkeley DB (BDB). The problem is, these files are not human readable, and it is on an isolated system not connected to the internet (IE: we are not allowed to post files). These log files are "usually" automatically cleaned up by a statement in the conf file:

set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

This setting works on every other system we have, with the exception of this T4-1.

No, there are no snapshots being done. It is on a raidz2 zfs file-system, but that shouldn't matter..

It has been suggested by some folks @ OpenLDAP that the older version of BDB -v4.7 is the issue. I have to claim partial ignorance to that statement since we don't use BDB for anything, but to support OpenLDAP.

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
