Tag Archives: disk usage

UPDATE: posted my workaround code below, good feedback already from Ryan (djatoka dev) and I’ll be testing the proper fix on the server soon.
I’ve got a server that keeps filling up its disk space and failing to serve images after it gets to the file system full error message.  First of all let me say, I don’t blame it in the least, if the admin (aka me) doesn’t do enough to secure the server enough disk space to do its job, I say, let me have it.  But after I’ve set the suspect daemon to use a *reasonable* amount of space I stopped thinking of it as the culprit, so when this issue arose again, I looked elsewhere for the cause.  Fast forward to today, the server’s file system filled up again, and refused to serve any more data, again, I totally understand where the server is coming from, if it doesn’t have enough disk space to do its job, it shouldn’t have to apologize to anyone; it’s all on the admin (again, aka, me), but what was going on?
