as you can see that the block volume is mounted correctly:
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev devtmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 395M 656K 394M 1% /run
/dev/vda1 ext4 78G 67G 11G 87% /
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/vda15 vfat 105M 6.7M 98M 7% /boot/efi
tmpfs tmpfs 395M 0 395M 0% /run/user/0
/dev/sda ext4 50G 53M 47G 1% /mnt/volume_fra1_01
in the base storage i have 11G, when my website is going above that 11G (auto temporary backups), my server is going down, the mount should take the storage when the base storage is full, but this not happening, once the left 11G is full, the server is down and i have to delete the files manually through FTP. Please advise, why the volume is not taking the storage when the base is full?

Hello,
As far as I can see from the screenshot you’ve mounted the block storage to the
/mnt/volume_fra1_01
directory. This means that only files uploaded to that specific directory would be stored on the block storage, the rest will just be stored as normal on the root partition.What you could do is change the directory where your backups are generated so that they don’t get stored on the
/
partition but instead on/mnt/volume_fra1_01
.Alternatively, you could unmount volume so that it is not mounted on
/mnt/volume_fra1_01
, but instead mount it to the exact directory where your backups are currently being auto-generated, eg. (/var/www/html/backups
) so that the backups get generated directly on the block storage.Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
