@openmedi git-annex doesn't currently keep track of how much space it's
|
||
|
using on a special remote. It's actually quite a difficult problem to do
|
||
|
that in general, since multiple distributed clones of a repository can be
|
||
|
uploading to the same special remote at the same time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If it runs out of space and transfers fail, git-annex will handle the
|
||
|
failures semi-gracefully, which is to say nothing will stop it from trying
|
||
|
again or trying to send other data, but it will certianly be aware that
|
||
|
files are not reaching the special remote.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If a particular storage service has a way to check free space, it would not
|
||
|
be hard to make git-annex's special remote implementation check it and
|
||
|
avoid trying transfers when it's full.
