Filesystem
Since the LDAP database (at least with the standard ldbm backend) resides
in a filesystem, the performance of the filesystem has an obvious effect on
the performance of the DSA
If possible place the DSA's database in its own filesystem.
ext2 and ext3 degrade in performance after they pass 1/3 capacity.
Use the noatime mount option to reduce the effort required to maintain
filesystem meta-data. The OpenLDAP package does not utilize the
access timestamp of the files.
Use the filesystem's tuning program to permit the DSA's security context
to utilize reserved space thus reducing the likelihood of corrupting the
database due to insufficient disk space
