Comment (by teor):
Some directory authority operators may deny access to disk space syscalls
using a sandbox. Some sandboxes will terminate the process. Others will
give bad results (like 0 or -1).
Directory authority operators have reported bugs in tor, because it made
syscalls they weren't expecting.
Instead of checking for disk space, you could:
* tell the operator how big the disk needs to be, and
* ask them to install automatic disk space monitoring.
Documentation about disk space goes in the INSTALL file. You can put it
with the other system requirements (like bandwidth and RAM).
Good documentation looks like this:
You will need X GB to install sbws and dependencies, and X GB to run sbws
for a year on the public tor network.
We recommend that you set up automatic disk space monitoring on your data
and log partitions.
Here are the details:
* installing sbws uses X MB on top of the base system. The sbws tor client
uses X MB.
* sbws produces X MB of data files per day. Data files are cleaned up
after X days. The remaining historical data is X MB per day.
* sbws produces X MB of logs per day at notice level. (Does sbws work with
logrotate? If not, how are logs rotated?)
