What is OneFS8.2 'Low Space Behavior' Threshold?

Question

Hi Everyone Please tell me about the 'Low Space Behavior' job added from Isilon OneFS8.2. https://www.dellemc.com/resources/en-us/asset/white-papers/products/storage/h12570-wp-isilon-onefs-job-engine.pdf 'In situations where the job engine sees the available capacity on one or more disk pools fall below a low space threshold, it engages low space mode. This enables space-saving jobs to run and reclaim space before the job engine or even the cluster become unusable.When the job engine is in low-space mode new jobs will not be started, and any jobs that are not space-saving will be paused.Once free space returns above the low-space threshold, jobs that have been paused for space are resumed.' *page24   There is such a description in the above white paper.  Is there any reference material that mentions the threshold of this Low Space Mode?Can this threshold be changed?

Hello takmiyagi,

Low space threshold is normally happening when the available capacity falls below 5%. You don’t want to change this as doing so may cause issues with your system.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Sam Thanks for the reply.  I have one more question. Will the white paper explaining it be made public?
