Description

I was running hypercored which managed to fill up the space. But there was no warning or error message about that. It kept running and receiving data (the other peer kept sending data), but storing seems to not really be happening.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the disk-full condition while running hypercored and trace how storage failures are handled when data is received. Identify the relevant storage and error-reporting entry points; done means an out-of-space condition produces a clear warning or error and does not silently continue as if storing succeeded.
