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 Hmm yeah I try to stay away from FS specific features so I can worry a bit less about the specific systems I get deployed to
@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.
@mauve
I'm also always amazed! So yes. 😅
