Hi All,
Is it possible to measure statistically the volume consumption of a space by a specific set of users?
So I'd say it depends what type of beer you are drinking, and the alcohol tolerance of the specific set of users. You will probably also want to consider the amount of time for consumption.
:-}
Oh wait. Sorry. Are you talking about Confluence? And disk space?
That's nearly an impossible question to answer because it's hard to know what your users will be doing.
It really truly depends on what your space is used for, and what the expectations are for users.
Don't forget unit of measure - I mean, the UK went metric about 55 years ago, but I've continued to drink pints and 1/4 gills, and of course, those are Imperial measures, not US!

That's quite a hard calculation to make (assuming by "volume consumption", you mean "disk space")
Imagine the simple case:
Bob creates a page, which has a few paragraphs of text on it, and adds an image (as an attachment).
You now have to count two things - there's a set of lines in your database containing the pages content and metadata, so there's a calculation to be made on how much disk those rows in the database take up (it'll be proportional to the volume of text on the page), and then the disk space the attachment takes up.
So that's a bit complex already.
Now, Alice sees the page and edits it, adding another paragraph of text, an image, and, just to be really difficult, an "include" macro. You now have a whole host of harder calculations:
In fact, this all matters whether you're counting disk space or something else.
Rather than talk more about "volume consumption", I think we need to ask what problem you are trying to solve?
