Just wondering best way to recover from a datastore running out of space

I tried to purge the failed jobs, but was never able to recover any space, which then always gave me an error that the datastore was full

Prune and GC did not seem to help, and since I just testing things out I just ended up deleting the datastore and it contents and recreating it.

It was a small datastore (50GiB) and not likely to happen in real world environments (or maybe so?!)

I'm not really ready to sleep with the manual, but I know a good reading session is still in order
 
hi,

the best way to recover from running out of space is extending the partition on which the datastore is located. of course this depends on your storage configuration.
