[p4] Splitting a depot

[Jamison, Shawn]

Howdy everyone.  Hope you had a good weekend!

I have a server with close to 10 million files and the P4ROOT is just
under 100 GB in size.
Fully half of what is there is not needed on a day to day basis and
checkpoints, backup and DR planning can be problematic and costly with
that much data.

Does anyone have any arguments for or against splitting a large depot?

What problems or issues did you experience?
How big was the depot?
How long did it take? 


Thanks for your input!
