This is another aspect of #LMDB's design that most people don't appreciate - by requiring you to declare up front the maximum size you'll allow the DB to grow to, you'll never be awakened at 5am to deal with a server that ran out of disk space. Or a server that killed other apps because it ate up all of the free disk space. Put the DB on a filesystem (or a raw block device), set the maxsize equal to the free space remaining on that storage, and forget about it.
