--- Begin Message ---Package: bitcoind Version: 0.7.2-1 The bitcoin client exits when the disk space is running low while downloading blocks. This is not the most elegant way to handle it, as the daemon from a user perspective just disappers without a trace. A better way would be to pause the block downloading until the disk space situation improves. The CheckDiskSpace() function in src/main.cpp is the one triggering this behaviour. It contain this code: // Check for nMinDiskSpace bytes (currently 50MB) if (nFreeBytesAvailable < nMinDiskSpace + nAdditionalBytes) { fShutdown = true; string strMessage = _("Warning: Disk space is low!"); strMiscWarning = strMessage; printf("*** %s\n", strMessage.c_str()); uiInterface.ThreadSafeMessageBox(strMessage, "Bitcoin", CClientUIInterface::OK | CClientUIInterface::ICON_EXCLAMATION | CClientUIInterface::MODAL); StartShutdown(); return false; } I noticed the problem with bitcoin-qt, where a dialog about "disk full" is shown and when I click 'OK' the program just disappears. The code seem to affect bitcoind too. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
