I know that the quantity of files and the retention time are the big factors in 
the size of the catalog database in bacula.  What would be a good calculation 
to use to ensure a healthy amount of space for the database?  I have a 
postgresql database sitting in a partition with nearly 4GB free.  I had a large 
backup fail at the end when it was attempting to update the catalog because 
there wasn't enough space.  Granted there were more than 11 million records 
being inserted.  There have been no other errors or concerns from postgresql 
until now.
