Author Topic: Server Capacity David Stone Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Hornsby, Sydney, Australia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 03-15-2011 01:47 AM                     Hi Everyone, Is ther a % full level you shouldn't exceed on the DOREMI server. I currently have 7 features (incl Carmen 222G) plus ads/trailers for a 69% capacity. Kind Regards, David  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-15-2011 09:18 AM                     I don't think there's a maximum. You need enough space for new content of course, and there's no reason to keep content that you won't play again. Do you really run 7 features?  |  IP: Logged Jussi Siponen Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Mikkeli, Itä-Suomi, FINLAND Registered: Jan 2010 posted 03-15-2011 11:30 AM                     DOREMI servers are Linux boxes, right? If so, filling up the filesystem to the brim is not recommended - Linux gets quite grumpy when it wants to write something to disc and can't do it. I'd leave at least 3-5 GB of storage space free at all times - which is something like less than 1% of the total, given the current HD capacities. So maybe having at least 1% free space at all times would be a good rule of thumb?  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 03-15-2011 12:58 PM                     quote: Jussi Siponen DOREMI servers are Linux boxes, right?

I've seen linux servers keep on running that literally had 0 bytes of disk space left and had no problem keeping on running when it tried writing to disk and found no space left.  |  IP: Logged David Stone Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Hornsby, Sydney, Australia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 03-15-2011 07:55 PM                     Hi Everyone, Thanks for the info. Dave, not usually but we have Gnomeo in 2D & 3D (sat/Sun), King's Speech, Black Swan, Carmen 3D (Sun), Conviction, True Grit. Cheers, David.  |  IP: Logged Anders Nordentoft-Madsen Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Valby, Denmark Registered: Aug 2005 posted 03-16-2011 09:02 AM                        Doremi's are indeed Linux, but the system runs of a flash card, the HD's are only for content, so it should be no problem so fill it up completely.  |  IP: Logged
