8192 blocks, or 4MB (not 8MB as I said) is the default size of a SVM
replica. You can specify a smaller (or larger) size with the -l NNNN
argument to metadb. I would presume that the smaller replicas from a
previous SDS would therefore still be compatable.
I always used to allow 10MB, which conveniently is big enough for two
SVM (default size) replicas.
Makes sense to allow more space if you have the chance though.
Scott.
