Subject: Node showing incorrect disk space and “Overused” status after v1.152.5 update
"I am experiencing a failure in one of my nodes. I have always had it configured to use 5TB on a 6TB drive. Currently, I have a little over 3.5TB of data stored, and this node has been running since 2023.
Today, after restarting the node, I noticed that it only detects 2.33TB of available space instead of the configured 5TB. As a result, it is now showing an ‘overused’ status of 1.21TB. I noticed that the node has recently updated to version v1.152.5."

Same problem with mine noticed last night it was constantly restarting. cant seem to get the work around to work with mun think its because i used one of the scripts to set it up and its put my config somewhere else. If i just leave it on restarting will it pick up the next update if theres one before i am disqualified? Also to note i didn’t get any emails notifying me that my node was offline like i usually do so how many others haven’t noticed yet!
The storagenode doesn’t reach as far into the startup process that an automatic upgrade will be possible, so manual intervention is required. Appending “storage2.monitor.minimum-disk-space: 1 GB” to config.yaml works for me, so batching that up now, all will be online again in a few minutes.
@Andrii is working on it in the background with Storj Devs from what we understand… - I would recommend to mitigate the situation yourself , and once a fix comes in , remove the additional config.
Is it possible to force an update to 1.152.6 or do I have to let it be and the update will get picked up on its own? I tried forcing a docker image update but there was nothing new to pull. I’m guessing the update is done outside docker.
My node went offline since 2 days. I looked into it. The node tells me it has not enough space (less than 500GB). Even though the node is 1TB in size. The node “thinks” the free space is the space it has to run the node in, for some reason.
