In PERSIST mode, you have two files associated with your database  
instead of one.  Whenever you move, copy, or rename the database file  
you *must* also move, copy or rename the journal file to prevent  
database corruption.

The persistent journal file uses disk space that might otherwise have  
been returned to the operating system and made available to other  
programs.

We have not tested the robustness and power-loss survivability of  
PERSIST mode nearly as carefully as we have the existing DELETE mode.
