A mechanism exists that will prevent certain activities on a StorageServer from filling up disk space once a threshold has been reached.
The limit is determined by the StorageVolumeMinFreeSpaceGB setting.
Viewing the setting
The setting StorageVolumeMinFreeSpaceGB can be viewed using the Storage Platform API:
https://<accountserver>/api/system/settings
(A default value of 1GB is used)
Changing the setting
To set a different value (to 5GB for example), also use the API URL:
https://<accountserver>/api/system/settings?StorageVolumeMinFreeSpaceGB=5
