> When the ZK server tries to make a snapshot and the machine is out of disk
> space, the snapshot creation fails and throws an IOException. An empty
> snapshot file is created, (probably because the server is able to create an
> entry in the dir) but is not able to write to the file.
>
> If snapshot creation fails, the server commits suicide. When it restarts, it
> will do so from the last known good snapshot. However, when it tries to make
> a snapshot again, the same thing happens. This results in lots of empty
> snapshot files being created. If eventually the DataDirCleanupManager garbage
> collects the good snapshot files then only the empty files remain. At this
> point, the server is well and truly screwed.
