Monitor disk space usage
Use the p4 diskspace command to monitor disk space
usage. By default, this command displays the amount
of free space, disk space used, and total capacity of any filesystem used
by
Helix Core Server.
If P4AUDIT is configured on any active server, the audit log file becomes large very quickly because it grows each time any user gets file content. Make a plan to manage the disk space. Include in your plan any retention policies for storing historical copies of the audit log files.
By default, Helix Core Server
rejects commands when free space on the filesystems housing the
P4ROOT, P4JOURNAL, P4LOG, or
TEMP falls below 250 megabytes. To change this behavior, set
the filesys.P4ROOT.min (and corresponding) configurables to
your desired limits:
If the user account that runs the
Helix Core Server
process is subject to disk quotas, the server observes these quotas with
respect to the filesys.*.min configurables, regardless of
how much physical free space remains on the filesystems in question.
For the options you have in reconfiguring default
values, see Specify values for filesys configurables.
To learn more, see Configurables in the Helix Core Command-Line (P4) Reference.
