Not enough free space on the drive

Error code: SE_FS_NOT_ENOUGH_FREE_SPACE

This error occurs when the amount of available storage space falls below a configured threshold. This threshold is defined by either of the Free disk space threshold parameters in the Agent Profile.

Free Disk Space Threshold

One threshold is expressed as a percentage of the total drive size, while the other is an absolute value in gigabytes (GB).

Example

Free disk space threshold: 10 GB
The Agent will continue downloading data until at least 10 GB of free storage space remains.

Free disk space threshold: 5% The Agent will continue downloading data until at least 5% of the total storage space remains. For example, on a 100 GB drive, this equals 5 GB.

During file transfers, the Agent allocates storage without exceeding the configured threshold, ensuring that other applications running on the system are not affected.

Once sufficient storage space is freed, the Agent resumes transferring data as defined in the Jobs it participates in.

Important

For pre-seeded folders, when downloading a patched file, the Agent reserves twice the required space. The patched file is temporarily downloaded to the .sync subdirectory before being moved to its destination.
