To monitor the practical growth of the storage backend and compare it with when chunking was enabled. If the trade-offs prove acceptable, we’ll tackle #48 by permanently disabling chunking.

Aside: In the future (when there are no more chunked NAR’s, due to GC), #36 will be redundant due to redirecting NAR fetches to the storage backend.

As expected, nginx content caching is no longer useful (aside from already existing chunked nars).

content cache decreased from 20G to 6.3G during the period chunking was disabled.

6.3G    /var/cache/nginx/attic
