4.4. Database Files

Each Directory Server instance contains the /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/db directory for storing all of the database files. The following is a sample listing of the /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/db directory contents. 

__db.001  __db.003  __db.005   NetscapeRoot/
__db.002  __db.004  DBVERSION  log.0000000007  userRoot/
Example 4.1. Database Directory Contents

NOTE

If a new database is created (for example, testRoot) to store the directory tree under a new suffix, the directory named testRoot also appears in the /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/db directory.

The following is a sample listing of the NetscapeRoot directory contents. 

./		entrydn.db4*		parentid.db4*
../		givenName.db4*		sn.db4*
DBVERSION*	id2entry.db4*		uid.db4*
aci.db4*	nsUniqueId.db4*		uniquemember.db4*
ancestorid.db4*	numsubordinates.db4*
cn.db4*		objectclass.db4*
Example 4.2. NetscapeRoot Database Directory Contents

The NetscapeRoot subdirectories contain an index_namedb4 file for every index currently defined in the database. In addition to these files, the NetscapeRoot and userRoot subdirectories contain the following files:
