When 0 disk space, Obsidian delete all open notes

This bugs seems to be the same as 0-byte-file-again-note-completely-destroyed (which is closed)

Once you’ve done the above, delete everything above this line.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Decrease the disk drive (where the Obsidian notes are stored) to 0 free bytes
  2. Open a note
  3. Try to modify the note

Expected result

Prevent the open notes to be modified (the note should be in read-only)
Receive a strong visible warning message to say : “You cannot modify the note until there are more available disk space”

Actual result

The note is erased / blanked
There are several warning message which says that there is no more disk space

Additional information

I have met this bugs several times during the 18 previous months on “all” Obsidian version. I have lost several notes (now I am very carefully about this issue)

(forum.obsidian.md automatically delete the unchanged discussion. So it prevent anybody to answer or to share their experience after the timeout… That is why I need to duplicate an existing and similar discussion. I am sorry about that. This is the only forum I know which has this strange behavior.)

This is a different problem which was solved recently.

Regarding the 0 disk space and other I/O problems, we have the file recovery plugin.

We could add something specific for disk full, feel free to open a feature request for that.

I don’t know how the recover plugin works… Maybe you can help ?

I followed your advice in creating this feature request

Thanks :slight_smile:
