any size fossil larger than a gigabyte is an overkill until you really
need the room -- then it becomes insufficient..

the 60GB venti at ucalgary has accumulated only 1.5GB (3.2
uncompressed) since june.  the 12GB fossil partition also looks
ridiculously empty:

	main: df
		main: 380,469,248 used + 12,052,914,176 free = 12,433,383,424 (3% used)
	main:

that after 4 days of uptime, storing 3 days worth of hourly snaps.

I know one person had problems with a 1GB fossil however -- he
simply couldn't store a file larger than that in it :)
