Comment (by iwakeh): Replying to [comment:1 karsten]: > I think I'd rather want us to fix the underlying problem of using massive amounts of disk space. The best way to achieve that is to improve how we're producing (xz-compressed) tarballs. Right now, we're creating those tarballs by first writing the uncompressed tarball to disk and then compressing it. Oh, and of course, we have the directories on disk that we're creating tarballs from. I hope we can find a better way. (If there's already a ticket for that, please feel free to paste a link to this ticket.) > Yes, this is fine. Let's use the above list for future discussion here. > I also just asked the Tor admins to send me automatic email notifications in case the disk is about to run full. That should be a good enough band-aid. > > Sound okay? That's fine, too. (I actually thought that this was the case already ;-) Would it make sense to have the "is there enough space check?" immediately at the beginning of each run? That way in case of a shortage only things like votes and consensus etc. could be retrieved, and more space consuming tasks could be postponed. Thus, avoiding the overfull disk? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18865#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
