I've upgraded my FreeIPA servers to CentOS 7.5 (CR). After that I have the following new messages during backup:

The path /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-ORG/cldb is valid and contains the following files:

[root@freeipa1 cldb]# ls -la insgesamt 6592 drwxr-xr-x. 2 dirsrv dirsrv 4096 28. Aug 16:12 . drwxrwx---. 6 dirsrv dirsrv 47 1. Dez 2016 .. -rw-------. 1 dirsrv dirsrv 5668864 30.

The directory /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-ORG/bak/EXAMPLE-ORG/.repl_changelog_backup does not exist, all I have is:

[root@freeipa1 cldb]# ls -la /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-ORG/bak/ insgesamt 0 drwxrwx---. 2 dirsrv dirsrv 6 30. Aug 01:34 . drwxrwx---. 6 dirsrv dirsrv 47 1. Dez 2016 ..

I'll create /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-ORG/bak/EXAMPLE-ORG/.repl_changelog_backup manually and will see if that helps. I think it should be created during upgrade or backup if it is missing. What do you think?
