With 50GB, you could set it to 30% easily. That would leave 15GB for
incrementals. I also put this back on the list as its potentially
educational to others.
To everyone in general, I'm subscribed, please do not send me private
emails in reply to a public post to the list unless its a comment
that shouldn't be made on the list by either of us.
Keeping it on the list allows folks to see both the original problem,
and its resolution if its resolved. Taking it offlist only cheats
the users who may search the archives for an answer before posting
copy # 17,917 of the same question.
