Estimating VOB size

If you can estimate the number of elements, versions, and derived objects that a VOB will ultimately contain, you can compute a very rough estimate of the size of a VOB that can accommodate them. VOB storage includes a database and pools. On Windows®, the database and pools must reside on a single disk partition. On Linux® or the UNIX® system, the pools can be located on a different partition or host, using symbolic links.

Estimating database capacity
An understanding of the sizes of elements, versions, and DOs is essential when estimating how many of these objects a VOB database of a given size can hold.
Estimating pool capacity
In addition to the space it consumes in a VOB database, each element requires space in the VOB’s source pool and usually other pools.
