cd /var/lib/ldap #or wherever your ldap *.dbd files are located
db_recover

does your slapd.conf use ldbm or dbd? - that may be an important
question

grep ldbm /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
grep dbd /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

one of those is going to tell you this

and db_recover - I'm not sure how/if it works with ldbm
