Re:All my servers have an 8 GB empty file on disk by akdma on Thursday March 25, 2021 @10:37PM (#26588241)
THANK YOU. How are so many people in this thread content with saying “monitoring isn’t perfect, this solution is ingenious”. Ofc nothing is perfect and even when you do everything right things can still go wrong, but if you don’t have a ROBUST monitoring/alert system in place then you’re not even doing the bare minimum. They’re acting like it’s rocket science to set thresholds, and have meaningful alerts and checks in place. Not to mention if you wait until disk full you risk issues like block corruption among others and your 8GB of space doesn’t do anything. It’s why people in this industry are on call, it’s why they have monitoring on their monitoring systems. The bare minimum

Yeah it’s crazy. If someone does this on their homelab server it’s probably fine but if they run it in production I really want to know because Im not buying jack from them.
