That time of the year that my matrix server gets borked and I need to figure out what's wrong with it
My 2GB `sacrifice.txt` file saves the day again by unblocking my database so I can run maintenance tasks
@mauve
I've just learned, in case you are using ZFS, there's a dataset property refreserved one can use to create empty space on a drive for such conditions. At least that file system can still delete things when reserved, empty space is present.
Now that I think of it, maybe we too do need a sacrifice.txt
@yala Nice! Yeah you're defs operating on a higher level than me so it makes sense. Glad FS creators have stuff like this built in for those that know how to optimize things well.
@mauve
I'm also always amazed! So yes. 😅
@mauve
I'm glad that works for your use cases.
In our situation as an ISP, the fs does quite some heavy lifting for us, why we must embrace it with all its ideosyncracies.
