[Wikitech-l] Free Disk Space needed for import

[wiki]

Thank you for the response. 

I think those sizes refer to the exported xml, e.g. 41.5GB is the English 
xml.bz2 expanded. 

I was curious as to how much extra disk space is needed (and consumed) after 
importing this English xml dump into MySQL, i.e. how much the database 
tables use.
