Task #887
Updated by Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza about 10 years ago
h3. issue * due to a recent disk space leak in Postgres, importing even a moderate-sized datasources datasource (eg. NY, SALVIAS) causes all the available disk space to be used up, and crashes the import: <pre> ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk export version=test_import grep --files-with-matches -F "No space left on device" inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql # the list includes all the datasources in the test run: NY, SALVIAS </pre> * in the last full-database import, this caused disk space errors in 29 of [[VegBIEN_contents#datasources|41 datasources]]: <pre> ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk export version=r13016 grep --files-with-matches -F "No space left on device" inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql # and uniqify by datasource </pre> * this is not necessarily caused by #884, because sort temp files consume disk space only in proportion to the table size, which for a small import would not be nearly enough to fill the disk (and yet the disk does fill up)
