Subject: [RFC] Avaiable disk space when automatic garbage collection kicks in
Date: Mon, 08 Apr 2024 18:29:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <950d4ad3bcee79df1424faee09eb6b00@manjaro.org> (raw)
Hello all,
A few days ago I've noticed a rather unusual issue, but still
a realistic one. When automatic garbage collection kicks in,
as a result of gc.auto >= 0, which is also the default, the
local repository can be left in a rather strange state if there
isn't enough free space available on the respective filesystem
for writing the objects, etc.
It might be a good idea to estimate the required amount of free
filesystem space before starting the garbage collection, be it
automatic or manual, and refuse the operation if there isn't
enough free space available.
As a note, the need_to_gc() function already does something a bit
similar with the available system RAM.
Any thoughts?
