No usable or free enough filestore found

[mike]

Hi

I created already 5 contexts and it was always working fine. But now when I try to create a new context I get the following error message:

context 6 could not be created:
Server response:
No usable or free enough filestore found

But nearly none of my customers is using the filestore:

ox1:/opt/open-xchange/sbin# /opt/open-xchange/sbin/listfilestore
id path size reserved used maxctx curctx
3 /var/opt/filestore 1000 1000 2 5000 5

And there is also more then enough diskspace free.

What could be the problem?

Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,

the problem could be that the OX Admindaemon assumes every context with a average context size. If this average context size is 200 (default configuration) and your total available filestorage is 1000, the creation of the sixth context will fail because then 1200 of 1000mb filestorage would be reserved.

Thanks a lot for your help. I was able to change the size of the filestore with the following command:

./changefilestore -i 3 -s 200000

For me it's a bit strange that OX "assumes" a value instead of using the real disk usage or the max. defined value.

Hi,

well that's because a storage subsystem can be dynamic, for example a network storage that can be extended by adding remote storages or even local disk storage that can be extended. We reserve the filestorage space to assure every context gets the quota even if all contexts are "full".

I am facing the same problem, but I am trying to set up the FIRST (default) context. There are about 9GB free on the hdd.

Any ideas? Is there a way to get more detailed information than:

context 1 could not be created:
Server response:
 No usable or free enough filestore found

thank you

Hi Tim,

please post the Output of

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/listfilestore -A oxadminmaster -P <yourpass>

Hi Martin,

the prog returns nothing but the headings (because nothing exists )

id path size reserved used maxctx curctx

Well, then you need to create a filestore using registerfilestore - did you installed the system following the steps at our how-to?

For Example:

As I have very limited knowledge auf linux and I am completely new to open-xchange, I followed that how-to step-by-step. However, after performing the registerfilestore (I am sure for a 2nd time) it created the filestore and I was able to create the context.

Thank you very much for your help
