+### `lmdb_map_size`
+
+This parameters can be used to set the map size used by LMDB,
+which is the size of the virtual memory region used for mapping the database file.
+The value of this parameter is the maximum size the metadata database can take.
+This value is not bound by the physical RAM size of the machine running Garage.
+If not specified, it defaults to 1GiB on 32-bit machines and 1TiB on 64-bit machines.

 ### `replication_mode`
 
 Garage supports the following replication modes:
