Disk caps and offline servers

Max disk (GB) blocks new uploads via catalog bytes; Off/unhealthy servers skip upload pick and can show Temporary offline.

Disk caps and offline servers

How capacity and status affect uploads and downloads.

Where to find it

Per-server edit forms (Max disk usage, Status). List columns On / Status. Fleet health via Run health checks or Admin → Health Center.

How it works

Max disk usage (GB) is a hard limit on *new* uploads when catalog used + new bytes would exceed the cap (upload can fail as full / 507). Cap uses catalog (DB) bytes (floor(GB * 1_000_000_000)), not a live df scan. Empty or 0 = unlimited; schema max 1,000,000 GB. New Local Server default is often 10 GB.

Upload selection skips servers that are not healthy, not On, trashed, disconnected remotes, over cap, or outside geo/targeting rules. No eligible server → 503 No storage server is available for upload.

Downloads work for On and Read-only. Off, missing, or trashed backends can show downloaders Temporary offline (button disabled; previews suppressed).

Common problems

Status On but uploads never land here

healthStatus is not ok - run health checks and fix connectivity / disk / credentials. Local over cap can report server_disk_quota_full.

Cap wrong vs disk free

Admin cap is catalog-based; clean trash/transfers if the DB thinks the server is full.
