There is registry settings for allowing the DB files to grow bigger than 18GB, is this what you're talking about? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6c4ce7bb-5289-4221-a87c-b9c78ab7c09c.aspx you should be concerned, if your store grows a little bigger it will dismount have you restarted Information Store after you changed settings in registry? when mount your store, read the applicationlog, there will be an event in there reading your registry settings.
