freediskrequired:

Here one determines the minimum free disk space required for the drive on which the auxfile will reside. The number given is in bytes, in Kbytes (if the letter `K' is added) or Mbytes (if the letter `M' is added). The default is {20K}. The second parameter specifies the minimum amount of free space required, above the size of the current bibliography file. The default is {4K}. The minimum allowable free space will be the maximum of the first number and the size of the current bibliography file + the second number. The third parameter specified the minimum amount of free space required for the second (list) auxiliary file. This file consists of a list of the names of entries in the main bibliography file, and is therefore much smaller than the main file. The default for the third value is the value of the first parameter.
