Laurent Chiarello commented on AMQ-7010:
----------------------------------------
[~gtully], [~cshannon], thanks for the clarification. Since then we moved
KahaDB on a dedicated partition, so it should indeed be preferable to shutdown
the broker on error since it is clearly not an expected situation.
> No space left on device leading to broker shutdown even if ignored

> Key: AMQ-7010
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-7010
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KahaDB
> Affects Versions: 5.15.0, 5.15.1, 5.15.2, 5.15.3
> Reporter: Laurent Chiarello
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: activemq_logs.txt
>
>
> Recently, we upgraded our ActiveMQ instance from {{5.13.2}} to {{5.15.3}}. We
> basically use an almost default broker setup with KahaDB. Due to our setup,
> we occasionally run into {{java.io.IOException: No space left on device}},
> which until now was fine since the broker would properly ignore them using
> the {{DefaultIOExceptionHandler}}, and resume its work once space is
> available again.
> After upgrading to {{5.15.3}}, however, we noticed that the broker would
> actually stop itself following a _no space left_ exception. Digging a little
> bit, it seems that the change in behavior can be linked to a fix introduced
> in the {{5.15.0}} release, see AMQ-6625. With this fix, KahaDB would
> sometimes throw the following exception: {{java.io.IOException: Async Writer
> Thread Shutdown}} from its {{DataFileAppender}}, which, unfortunately, is not
> handled by the {{DefaultIOExceptionHandler}} unless {{ignoreAllErrors}} is
> set to true.
> This would basically mean that the {{DefaultIOExceptionHandler}} has become
> useless in catching only _no space left_ exceptions, which I do not think is
> the intended behavior.
> h3. How to reproduce
> # Start a broker with default config on a small partition
> # Send a persistent message with web console to any queue
> # Fill the partition by any mean
> # Send more messages with web console, broker is eventually shut down
> See the attached broker logs.
