Posted on behalf of forum user 'Matt Janulewicz'. It probably goes without saying that if one submit pushed you over the limit, don't forget to expand your storage for whatever volume ran out of space. More tips: Monitor (automate) volumes using 'p4 diskspace' when the server is running again. Empty space in the db takes up actual disk space until you compress/rebalance the db by dumping a checkpoint and replaying it into a new copy of the db. Do this once in a while (monthly, at least, if not weekly) to keep your db lean. Don't forget to replay the live journal into it once you rebuild it and restart the server. Read up on offline checkpoints. Truncate your live journal often. Daily is a good pace for that. The last piece of data you want corrupted is your live journal, in my opinion, assuming you have a good, safely stored history of checkpoints and previously truncated journals. Certain processes create a lot of *.tmp files. You may be able to clean those up, too, and gain some space. After your cleanup is done, and at regular intervals, run a 'p4 verify -q' on your entire server to verify your revisions/db. 'p4d -xv' is not a terrible thing to run once in a while (weekly), either. -- Please click here to see the post in its original format: http://forums.perforce.com/index.php?/topic/5599-out-of-space-how-to-delete-files-or-previous-check-in _______________________________________________ perforce-user mailing list - [email protected] http://maillist.perforce.com/mailman/listinfo/perforce-user
