Description

Out of a total of nine nodes I run (four on docker, five native), only Oasis and an old bitcoin copy-paste-fork crashed and ceased running due to a temporary out of space condition that was then resolved hours later.

Note that this was an edge case with Github being down yesterday and bug in an autoupdate script recursively copying my home directory into a single directory infinitely. Still, Oasis needs to be made much more robust if other nodes can handle it.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Oasis node handling for disk-full conditions and reproduce a temporary out-of-space state; done means the node remains running or recovers cleanly after space is restored, with regression coverage.
