19.4 Disk Usage Checks

Each hour, Filr checks the amount of disk space that is being used on the system drive for a given appliance. If disk usage reaches 90% capacity or greater on the system drive for any appliance, the Filr and FAMT services are stopped.

Following are the scripts that are used to monitor disk usage for each type of appliance:

  • Filr Appliance: /etc/cron.hourly/filr-diskcheck.sh

  • Search Index Appliance: /etc/cron.hourly/lucene-diskcheck.sh

  • Database Appliance: /etc/cron.hourly/mysql-diskcheck.sh

When the Filr and FAMT services are stopped because of low disk space, a message is logged to both the /var/opt/novell/va_status and /var/log/messages files.

After the services are stopped, you must clean up unneeded data or add additional disk space to the appliance before restarting the services.
