Error message

ERROR - "Failed to write /data/521/534297.bhd allow_write F skip_write_fail F"

Diagnosis

One possible cause is that cache eviction cannot clean up any data from the local cache directory for non-MSDP system file writes.

The cache eviction is triggered when the high watermark setting (HighWatermark) for the directory is reached. Files that have not yet been uploaded to the cloud cannot be deleted. This error occurs if files pending upload are also targeted for cache eviction. In this situation, if the cache eviction can't delete enough files to satisfy the high watermark, the write operation will fail.

Since the upload speed to the cloud is slower than the hard disk drive write speed, this situation can arise when the partition for the local cache directory is small. Increase the space that is allowed for the local cache directory.
