    I cannot reproduce this issue on current master 653b2b4426cf762f90707c27c3f435142c911ab6 Every time "Disk space is low!" is fired bitcoin-qt shows GUI and shuts down correctly. @gmaxwell if this is still an issue, would you mind providing steps to reproduce it?

    CheckDiskSpace uses 50 MB as the mimimum free space. With a typical swap gobbling desktop that probably leads to undeterministic behavior, just depending on whether it runs completely out of space.

    50 MB has the additional problem that it's just 3 rev????.dat files. I recently had a microSD card for the blocks dir run out of space, and I couldn't start the node anymore even to prune it. I suggest we increase this to a safer 200 MB. Perhaps more if -prune isn't set, since the user is doomed to run out space in less than a day.

    I recently had a microSD card for the blocks dir run out of space, and I couldn't start the node anymore even to prune it.

    What is the capacity of your microSD? I'll try to reproduce this behavior.

    My try to reproduce an issue reported by @Sjors:

    • create /dev/loop device with 2 GiB capacity, format it and mount it to ~/test-loop-fs
    • src/qt/bitcoin-qt -blocksdir=/home/hebasto/test-loop-fs

    Bitcoin Core hits "Disk space is low!" error.

    After this error I can start Bitcoin Core with the same error. Every time "Disk space is low!" is fired bitcoin-qt shows GUI and shuts down correctly.

    Using additional option -prune=550 also leads to "Disk space is low!" error.

    256 GB (much less in practice). I didn't use QT, just bitcoind.

    Another test with bitcoind. After bitcoind hit "Disk space is low!" error it shut down.

    The following runs of bitcoind end with "Disk space is low!" error. Using additional option -prune=550 also leads to "Disk space is low!" error.

    The issue is probably that error messages are also written to disk. Especially the "Disk space is low!" error is (tried) to written to disk in several places.

    Anyway, the issue didn't seem to be reproducible, so closing for now.

    Is this still an issue with a recent version of Bitcoin Core? If yes, what are the steps to reproduce?
