Compacting a Suffix
Directory Server 6.1
supports the compaction of suffixes offline. Online compaction is not supported
in this release. If storage space is available, compacting a suffix reduces
the size of the database by reorganizing the database keys.
To Compact a Suffix Offline
The server must be stopped before you perform this task.
-
Compact the required suffix.
$ dsadm repack instance-path suffix-dn
|
All .db3 files related to the specified suffix
are compacted.
If you run this command with the -b option, you can
specify a back end database name, instead of a suffix DN. At least one suffix,
or one back end must be specified.
