Low Disk Space Error?

[Zobags]

I am getting a low disk space error, but my hard drive has 42GB of free space. Do I need to do anything?

Thanks.

When do you get this error exactly?

When you're importing hands, running a backup on a database, doing maintenance on the database?
You can ignore the error, if you really have 42 GB of free disk space.

I get the error in the Alert Viewer. I really do have 42GB free.

It is alerting you that you have gone past the 20% space threshhold. You should not use more than 90% of the drive. Filling it up completely can corrupt Postgres and cause other data corruption issues.

We give the warning in the advisory before it becomes a problem. If you are watching your drive space, you can ignore the warning.
