I wanted to follow up with this and let you know that I was able to
get rt-serializer to finally complete by moving the installation to a
machine with considerably more RAM (12GB instead of 2GB). The
serializer process maxed out at about 6.3GB of RAM while serializing
an 8GB database. This is using RT 4.2.2 on FreeBSD 9.2 with Perl
5.16.3.
The serializer reported the following statistics when it finished:
Total object counts:
1002902 RT::Transaction
665796 RT::Attachment
257818 RT::Group
182643 RT::GroupMember
62315 RT::Ticket
9027 RT::Attribute
8382 RT::User
4324 RT::Link
988 RT::ObjectCustomFieldValue
312 RT::CustomFieldValue
38 RT::Queue
30 RT::ObjectCustomField
30 RT::CustomField
I'm going to try running the importer next, but I suspect that uses a
lot less RAM.
