#18865: actively monitor resources like available storage space -------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: iwakeh | Owner: iwakeh Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Metrics/CollecTor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: ctip | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -------------------------------+------------------------
Comment (by karsten): I'd say let's add a warning if there's not much space left on the device at the beginning of a run (less than 200M?). But let's not make CollecTor behave differently when it finds that it's low on disk space. If we have such warnings in place (the Nagios notification and the new low-on-disk- space warning), we should assume that operators are smart enough to do the right thing. The recent problems only happened, because we don't have any notifications at all. But acting differently in case of low disk space would be like a car on reserve that doesn't let you drive faster than 100 km/h or not in opposite direction of a nearby gas station. Oh, I would hate a car that thinks it's smarter than I, even if it is. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18865#comment:3> 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
