Hi,
I had set up mogilefs in a very bad practice -- 1 partition holding
everything(OS + devX). I have many of these machines which will take
sometime to migrate. Now, one of them is filled up by mogilefs:
colo3:/tmp# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 228G 217G 0 100% /
It's not totally out of space, but df shows 100% and it makes me worry.
Is there any parameter I can set to prevent this, like setting a device to
readonly if available space is less than 20G or 90% ?
You running mogile as root?
If you're using ext2/ext3, you probably have that magic 5% reserved for
root. A normal user on that machine shouldn't be able to write anymore.
root will though Until you're out of disk.
MogileFS does check free space, but the value's currently hardcoded
somewhere, and it's set to 100 megabytes if I recall correctly.
You could easily monitor disk utilization through the admin interfaces
(worst case, a wrapper around mogadm!), and set the device to readonly
or drain. However, you should probably go ahead and set that guy to
readonly now and leave it that way... Go add a few more disks and let it
even out or drain the device.
