IndexedDB unlimited quota on Chromebooks (Chrome OS)
Michael
I'm developing an HTML5 app for my company (a world leader wellness
brand) that needs to store offline a big amount of data (about 500 MB,
uncompressed).
To allow the storage of such an amount of data, I'm actually launching
Chrome (on Linux/Windows/MacOS) with the --unlimited-quota-for-
indexeddb option which permits to pass over the local storage limit.
We recently got a Chromebook and while trying to run the web app we
rapidly reached the memory limit.
So, my question is:
is it possible to unlock the indexeddb limit on a Chromebook?
FYI
We're actually testing on Samsung series 5 Chromebook

Seems like this is probably is an okay thing to prototype a Samsung
Series 5 where we have about 9-10 GB for user data. You are probably
on the forefront of what people are doing with HTML5 persistent
storage here :-)
I think right now you'd have to flip the dev switch and enable dev
firmware so that you can alter the filesystem and edit the
/sbin/session_manager_setup.sh and add the relevant flag at the bottom
there. This, of course, has the side-effect of stopping auto-updates
and disabling security so I can't recommend it for production,
unfortunately.
We -- Chromeos (and specifically, the filesystem) team should look at
the consequences of turning this on globally and see if it's feasible
to do in the future.
