Is there an install set for vServer 5?  
If there is, where can I download it?

Or is it v4.9.1?

Will my unlimited license for v4 work with v5?

32KB

Assume your data is about 1MB only, but you choose 10MB as db's segment size
- so you will get approximately 20MB ( first segment for service internal
data + second segment for user data) for each volume (in case of 4 dedicated
volumes it will be 80MB, in case of a single volume it will be 20MB ...) and
all of these just for storing your 10MB data.

Another point is - assume your data is slightly bigger then a single segment
size. Even if it is 1 byte bigger, the next segment will be allocated (10MB)
to store that additional 1 byte.

You should get an error, but this area is very complex, complicated, with
lot of optimizations. You'd better stay away from this situation. And
finally you'll get no options besides migration data to the new db with
dumps.

Default segment size lets you have a db up to 64GB. It is hard to say how
much is it - obviously it depends on db nature. But in average, it seems to
be a good compromise between a "db chunk size" (32KB is not so much to spare
even to keep that additional single byte) and "growing capabilities".

But if you plan to keep some genome data or lot of pictures, documents and
so on, then, probably 64GB limit is too low - so you should choose bigger
segment size.

Mistyping - your 1 MB data.
