Waiting to see how much max storage space an electrs electrum server will take without pruning.

Currently I'm looking at already 1TB lol

If I've understood correctly, the rule is that the maximum will be twice the bitcoind block storage, then it will compact.

It took between 20 to 24 hours and peaked at almost 2TB, before compacting to ~950GB. The pool is mainly HDDs with SSD cache, but I don't think that the cache helped much, for this amount of data. I did not use lightmode and did not use "--address-search".

Online recommandation for SSDs are valid, I can hear my HDDs scratching non-stop since the initial sync finished. Not sure what would cause so much activity on an empty unused freshly initialized electrum server.
