Diskspace Requirements

By default, the Helix server rejects commands when free space on the filesystems housing the P4ROOT, P4JOURNAL, P4LOG, or TEMP fall below 10 megabytes. To change this behavior, set the filesys.P4ROOT.min (and corresponding) configurables to your desired limits:

Configurable Default Value Meaning

filesys.P4ROOT.min

10M

Minimum diskspace required on server root filesystem before server rejects commands.

filesys.P4JOURNAL.min

10M

Minimum diskspace required on server journal filesystem before server rejects commands.

filesys.P4LOG.min

10M

Minimum diskspace required on server log filesystem before server rejects commands.

filesys.TEMP.min

10M

Minimum diskspace required for temporary operations before server rejects commands.

filesys.depot.min

10M

Minimum diskspace required for any depot before server rejects commands. (If there is less than filesys.depot.min diskspace available for any one depot, commands are rejected for transactions involving all depots.)

You can use the following abbreviations to specify size:

t or T for tebibytes
g or G for gibibytes
m or M for mebibytes
k or K for kibibytes

You can also use a percentage to specify the relative amount of free diskspace required. For example, setting filesys.P4JOURNAL.min to 5% means that at least 5% of total diskspace must be free for the server to continue to accept commands.
