Revision 13824

fix: /README.TXT: Full database import: disk space: removed instructions to rerun the import if the disk space gets used up, because this is actually a bug and is not generally "fixed just by rerunning the import"

		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
78 78
		make postgres_restart
79 79
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
80
		**WARNING**: sometimes, this amount of available space is insufficient
81
			and the entire disk space gets used up, crashing the import. if this
82
			occurs, the problem will often be fixed just by rerunning the import
83
			again. (the high-water mark varies by import.)
84 80
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
85 81
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
86 82
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
