A.5 Anticipating Disk-Space Growth

Anticipating Filr Disk Space Growth

Filrsearch Disk Space Growth

  • The /vastorage disk will see the most growth because this is where the indexes reside.

SQL Disk Space Growth

  • SQL disk space growth is confined to the database (/vastorage on the PostgreSQL appliance).

  • Depending on the current size of /vastorage, you should expand /vastorage to allow for growth as follows:

    1. After synchronizing the first 20 million files, run the following query on the database.

      SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('<database name>')) as "Database Size";
    2. Based on the results, calculate the disk space required for 100 Million files.

    3. Include anticipated growth that in the total.
