What would happen, if i restart the Storj docker with a reduced size limit?
For example because of an input error (6 instead of former 9 TB) although the node has already accumulated 9 TB of data?
Is this the end of a node? Instant disqualification?
You will not be disqualified because your node will initially keep all the data it had before you lowered the size limit. If it had 9TB and you lower it to 6, you will still have 9TB of data on your drive and your dashboard will say that you have negative 3TB of remaining disk space. In that case, you would need to wait for customers or the test server to delete 3TB of data from your node before the amount of data on your node matches your new limit. This could take a while. Nobody knows if or when a customer will delete data.
i suppose… after thinking a bit more about it, there also seems to be exactly zero benefit to actually attempting to do that… also more of a thought experiment… because if it’s possible somebody will eventually do that, and then they should get their held amount back… ofc maybe if one sets the storagenode capacity to 0 it might just go down to 500 as a minimum…
