RE: [gentoo-server] MySQL-4.1 and <- Max

[Stuart Stegall]

I don't think this is what you think it is.  I believe this is the size
of all the records that will be transferred to other nodes in the
cluser, not the total database size.  When NDB Cluster first came into
being, I was testing it with a 60GB database with 4xDell PE2600s with
2GB of RAM.
