Title: DR fills up servers hard drives. What to do?
Post by: DotDesignStudio on 2017-02-22, 13:53:45

Hello!


On eacg rendering node i have around 60 gb free space on C drive. While rendering using Corona DR it keeps all sent exr files. So each 999 seconds it adds a new one. When i render 6.000 px image with 15 channels it just stops working. Each exr is around 10GB. Sometimes host can't even receive passes. But when it works it fills up my hdd way too fast. Is there a possibility for corona to not store multiple exr's and just keep the last one? Or maybe i can set different drive for storing those exrs? Or maybe there is a program that will automatically delete useless exr's?

Mike.

It looks like you just need to uncheck the "[DEBUG] save sent images" and there is a spinner "Maximum Directory Size"

It was unchecked on all servers.
I can't find the spinner.

uhm sorry, I'm using pre-1.6 dailybuild.
but, if you're sure the save sent image has been unchecked then it must be a bug. coronateam should take a look at this. for temporary solution I think you can use powershell script for automate deletion of exr file.
