I had hoped to avoid upgrading to 2.4 because I've got a lot of FDs
using much older versions of baculabut if I must I must....

About 20 servers, several million files and around 8-900GB per night.
The big killer is the mail server which is courier-imap with a maildir
backend - every email is a file and they get fairly unique names.

I think I've hit this problem not because of the size of the database
but because of how Postgres works - serial numbers aren't reused and
looking at the postgres dump, a dump/reload probably doesn't regenerate
them from zero.  Well, I doubt it will because the serial numbers are
present in the SQL dump.  The table itself doesn't have anything like
2^31 entries:

bacula=# select count(fileid) from file;
   count
-----------
 174610251
(1 row)


I've been using Bacula for almost three years so that's 3 years worth of
fileids there.
