I discovered that my crawler was automatically put on pause because of disk problem while having 1TB of free disk and a hard limit to 4GB free.
What happened is that the other limit (how much data you can have on the drive) applies even when the bow is unchecked!
Are you running YaCy on Windows or Linux?
I also am seeing this problem on a Yacy peer running on Windows. If you look at your server log, what do you see?
/ViewLog_p.html
If you search for OBSERVER you might find a clue. In my log, I found this:
W 2025/05/20 05:59:34 SWITCHBOARD Crawl job ‘50_localcrawl’ is paused: resource observer: too high disk usage, EXHAUSTED
I 2025/05/20 05:59:34 RESOURCE OBSERVER pausing local crawls
W 2025/05/20 05:59:34 RESOURCE OBSERVER Volume C:\Users\User\YaCy\DATA: used space (27312 MB) is too high (> -1 MB)
Notice it says “used space (27312 MB) is too high (> -1 MB)”. I hoped that a setting of “-1” would tell Yacy the disk limit should be removed completely for unlimited use, but that did not work.
So, I went to /Performance_p.html and changed some values.
It is currently crawling, better I think, and I hope it does not automatically pause the crawls again.
