server size increasing while pre-generating

is it normal for the file size of a server to increase massively while pregenerating chunks? and will the amount of storage it takes up go down when the process is finished?

yeah so im wondering when the generation ends, if the storage will get even larger or stay the same or if will even shrink

it wont shrink and yes after pregeneration it will get larger (probably not by much if u pregen all the way to worldborder) (only talking about world folder here) entities storage usage will continue to grow

This question is a bit strange. You're generating chunks, they have to be stored somewhere, right ? It's like having a image folder on your computer. If you put more images in the folder, it will increase in size.
