The closest I have to that is a 43 Gigabyte sqlite database which works fine. In that case almost all the space is taken up by one thin table which has a ridiculous number of rows. > The database was growing for about 1-1/2 days.

Or monitoring the amount of free space on the disk to see if it's shrinking ?
