What can I do to recover the database so that I can start the server?
What messages do you get in the directory server error log?

There was no backup created. The system ran out of disk space in the log partition and in the database partition during an OS upgrade. It looks ike the version of db4 has changed and the directory server failed while this was happening. I would like to recover by rolling forward if possible, but if not this is a multi-master instance and I can probably rebuild if I have to.
Ok, I see. I'm not sure if directory server auto-recovery is possible with this sort of failure. You might be able to use the berkeley db command line utilities to upgrade and/or recover your database files. http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/utility/index.... - you may have to figure out which version of bdb you are using, then find the appropriate documentation - rpm -qi db4 or rpm -qi db4-utils. You might try db2ldif to export your data, then re-import using ldif2db, but that would force a replication re-init anyway.
