Q: Messages server disk full issue
- Server 5.1.7 on a Mac Mini Server running 10.11.6
- Clients all 10.11.6 using the built in Messages.app.
- Network users with user homes on the same Server as Messages server.
- None of the disk drives on the various machines involved with the issue below are showing errors in DiskUtility.app.
- All disk drives on all involved machines have plenty of space available.
Messages Server allows connections and works fine but seems to be having some trouble. After a few days running, the server starts to trigger an error with each message sent. The issue goes away on reboot of the server only to recur a few days later. I cloned the server OS disk to a known good external drive and booted from it. No behavior change.
Users get an OS error message with a Messages.app icon in the top left and main title reading "Disk Full" followed by "Your disk is almost full. This may cause incoming messages to be lost.
I have not been able to find anything useful in any of the logs but I may not be looking in the right place.
Anyone see this or have any idea where to go looking for ways to confirm the problem?
Thanks - Erich
