Comment by Kevin Pulo [ 20/Jan/15 ]

The implications of this limit should also be documented. They are:

  • For MMAPv1:
    • With smallfiles: 8TB maximum db size (actually 512MB less, if prealloc is also on)
    • Without smallfiles: 32TB maximum db size (actually 2GB less, if prealloc is also on)
