Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/RD17/ambar/issues/101

Hi,
I had the files at /opt/ambar/db Collection-.wt and Index-.wt. Collections-*.wt are very much increased in size. What are these files and in what proportion they will grow, relative to the size of the shared folder?

And one more question:
Can the Ambar index files on user's computers from local network? E.g. \user-pc1\c$, \user-pc2\d$

@Jaseri it's mongodb storage. In mongodb Ambar stores extracted from files text and (if preserveOriginals options is true ) the original files. Extracted text size ~ 30% of original file size. So to sum up, if preserveOriginals is false then Ambar size will be ~ 30% of your share size, otherwise ~130%of your share size

Can the Ambar index files on user's computers from local network? E.g. \user-pc1\c$, \user-pc2\d$

Yes, take a look at SMB crawler in our blog

Do not understand the question
