450MB free diskspace was clearly not enough to convert a 7MB database from v4 to v5. And it only did 2500 records out of 3500. After making room, it used 820MB for 3440 records, and it seemed to slow down the longer it takes and diskspace usage is not directly related to number of records. (It seems to require progressively more)
The 920MB was not enough for my biggest database, it got stuck at 3500 records out of 3799 and consumed the complete 920MB free space. I had to free up 1.1GB for a 7MB database with only 3799 records.
Sounds familiar to me. Maybe, we should checkpoint the database in
I don't know a whole lot about berkely db. Why does it take +450MB to convert over a 7Mb database? Thats about 64 times larger.
Hey, good question. I think the transaction log file format is not too efficient.
