How much disk space do you have left?

3

about 90% of the disk space is used so I have 10% left. Does it automatically get thrown into read only at 10%? How do you turn that feature off?

4

The watermarks are documented here.

Disk usage will fluctuate while indexing, as merging takes place, so do not set these too high.

Thank you for the reply.
