Desired size larger than available source data
Published 06 March 2025
The desired size specified is bigger than the total size of the source database.
How to fix
- Check your options file - locate the
desiredSize
value - Verify source database size - confirm the actual size of your source database
- Reduce the desired size - set it to a value smaller than the source database
- Consider percentage-based sizing - use percentages for more reliable results
Common Issues
Overestimated size: "desiredSize": "10GB"
when source database is only 2GB
Wrong units: "desiredSize": "500MB"
when you meant "500KB"
Percentage miscalculation: Assuming database is larger than it actually is
Sizing options
Absolute size: "desiredSize": "1GB"
(must be smaller than source)
Percentage-based: "desiredSize": "50%"
Supported units: B, KB, MB, GB, TB
Example
{ "desiredSize": "25%" }
