Hard Disk Space Low On Tommy

Hi

I'm sure you have your own warnings about such things, but in next two weeks or so there may be a problem with disk space in /home1 on Tommy. Some action will be required.

/home on Johnny is less predictable (by looking at its 100 days history), so it may (or may not) need some attention, too.

Thanks for the warning. Our system actually holds on to user's data until the total free home space dips below 10 GB, at which point it gets transferred automatically to cold storage where it can still be recalled if the user comes back and wants their data. We have a monitor on our admin control panel to keep an eye on it. Currently Johnny has 11.1 GB real space, and 92.7 GB theoretical space available. Tommy has 35.8 GB real space, and 174.6 GB theoretical space available. Eventually your server monitors will just show roughly 10 GB free home space on all servers all the time. We just figure why delete user's data if we don't really need to?

Seem Tommy only have 35.8G rather low, is it not true? From the monitor, tommy is down a few times in minutes in a month, what is the possible cause?

No it's not actually, considering most people don't use much space at all.

 

In the past month, the long outages you see on the monitors are because our provider had a power outage (building struck by lightning), and the server crashed once (believed related to said outage).

 

The other, shorter, red spots are typically either Apache restarts that took longer than normal or abusive users that took a few minutes to suspend.
