Back up to sync so I wanted to get some updated totals for you.

So, I'm a little confused now. My total size is now lower than yours from two days ago!

# du -sh _data/steem/
431G    _data/steem/

Here's the biggest tables. I thought adding an index to sbds_tx_votes would have more of an impact on size, but when I still had both tables they were very close so I'm not sure if that has any impact here.

# ls -lh _data/steem/ | egrep '[0-9]G'
total 431G
