Hi Steve,
The size of the metadata as a percent of the size of the storage
space depends on the sizes of the files. I'm doing a back of the
envelope calculation, but I think that in general, each file takes up
somewhere around 650 bytes to store its metadata, while directories
are a little less (maybe 500 bytes). Remember though that the
metadata size changes for different configurations (more servers,
etc.). There's also overhead related to the storage space itself,
which is about (100K * numservers). If you know how many files/
directories you have in your volume, you should be able to get a
rough estimate of your metadata size using those numbers above.
