Re: [tor-relays] No disk space for new files created by Tor

But will that configuration stop Tor writes the heartbeat information into the notices.log? I need that.

I tend to kill almost all logging and use AvoidDiskWrites 1 (or whatever it is) in torrc. Also your log files will fill up a lot faster if you are a directory server.

I checked the old notices.log file.

The warning of unable to write just came out from nowhere. The log before the very first warning was my heartbeat data.

However, there was something that different than "unable to store router descriptor":

What's more interesting happened was I checked the new notices.log file again and seems that after Tor opening another new notices.log, everything back to normal. There is only heartbeat information in the new file for the past hours. And I didn't do anything.

Before deleting you should review the log files to find out what exactly is
happening to Tor, that made it produce so much logs. This shouldn't ever
happen during normal operation.

That's true. I assumed the juicy stuff would be in notices.log and notices.log.1, but yes, it would make a lot of sense to review the older logs as well. Perhaps Tor is not starting up nicely and is constantly spitting out error messages / warnings.
