Not sure about the details you ask re users, someone will hopefully supply,
but when I added all the rest of my 800 UG modules to be dormant on the
system, it took somewhere between 6 & 25 Mb (can't remember which - I have
both in my head). When we just tried to move unix to linux, we had problems
because TechSupport gave us instructions to port across the content (not
application, c. 50Mb) as an ascii file which for us (550 dormant modules,
700 used modules, 15000 total users, of which 5000 enrolled users at point
in summer where minimum use and students removed from many modules) was more
than 2 Gb. (This is point to note as linux couldn't deal with file of more
than 2Gb so we had to delete data) Feel free to use these rough figures if
anyone is working a formula out...!

Subject: Server Sizes/Blackboard Accounts
Has anyone any ideas as to the amount of space a blackboard account takes up
on the server?
If I was to create say, 500 users, would they take up a finite amount of
disk space? If I was to then enrol them on 2 courses, would this also take
up a finite amount of hard disk space multiplied by the number of users?
If that is the case, what would 11,000 users with no courses, initially,
take up? Is there a formula for this?
I know there is one for simultaneous users at 25Mb of memory per user, but
what about disk space? Any ideas?
