nsslapd-db-durable-transactions

Indicates whether database transactions log entries are immediately written to the
disk. The database transaction log contains a sequential listing of all recent
database operations and is used for database recovery only. With durable
transactions enabled, every directory change will always be physically recorded in
the log file and therefore be able to be recovered in the event of a system failure.
However, the durable transactions feature may also slow the performance of the
Directory Server. When durable transactions is disabled, all transactions are
logically written to the database transaction log but may not be physically written
to disk immediately. If there was a system failure before a directory change was
physically written to disk, that change would not be recoverable. The
