The storage server issues three different types of out-of-space messages
whenever the Extent Pool or Extent Repository space runs short. When a
configured warning watermark is reached, the physical space is
completeley exhausted, or the capacity constraints have been relieved, a
message is received.

A log entry for the sysadmin to react to is generated in any case. In
case the physical space is completely exhausted, sense data that reads
"no space left on device" is received. In this case, currently running
I/O will be blocked until space has either been released or added to the
extent pool, and a relieve message was received via an attention
interrupt.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
