How to calculate maxsize for an MBD [was: 2.4.32: mdb stable enough?]

Hi,

The MDB library has not yet been optimized for write performance. I expect that there are still some changes for it coming, because it's clear we can still push it further.

But feature-wise back-mdb is complete, and we know of several companies that have tested it heavily for their own purposes and are deploying it in production.

Howard's reassuring answer made me wnt to switch from HDB to MDB too.

But this brought up a question: Given an existing HDB database, is there a formula or something to calculate the 'maxsize' config option of MDB from the existing information.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
