I have been experimenting with my 6.1.1 server (thank you for the patch - I can now keep it running for more than 3-days) to see how it performs and utilizes resources.
Some of the numbers I am seeing, when it comes to DB size/growth, is startling and is going to be a major factor in whether I can implement 6.1 As an experiment, I exported one of my largest (objects-wise - 100M) nodes to my 6.1 server. The source 5.5.2 server DB is 70G with 70% utilized (50GB) and also contains other nodes, for a total of 138M objects. On the 6.1 server, the DB has now grown to 355GB and I didn't finish exporting all 100M objects (only 1.4TB of occupancy) since I blew out the log space and crashed the server. That is 7x as big then V5 !!! If I take this same factor, to move my other server with 273M objects (105GB DB) to 6.1, I would need more than 1TB of disk space for the DB alone. Is this what is to be expected? I realize the docs talk about 4x the resource requirements, but not 7x! If so, there is no way I could move my biggest servers to 6.1 since they only have 500GB internal drives used for the DB.
