Free space calculations on multiple file systems

Post by jeffshern »

I have a separate file system (and disk) for each camera that I have and the OS and ZM are on they're own FS. (I was running out of space and it was bringing the system down). I haven't filled up one of these disks yet, but will this trigger the disk full filter, or is it going to look at the df that is shown in the main window?

If you do a df -h from the root directory (/) what percentage matches your ZM web interface. Also I believe it is only the "events" directory location that is used to calculate the the disk percentage since the web interface takes up very little space and the video takes up a majority of it.

./events is on the / partition... ./events/1 and ./events/2 are on their own partitions. But it seems like ZM has no idea that they are starting to run out of space.

so currently the /events folder matches what is displayed on your zm web interface?
