Hello,
I have a small issue with Weaviate Instance running locally in Docker Container. I use Docker bind mount for data and backups and when Weaviate checks disk space for these directories it gets percentage of the host machine disk space. The problem is I run on 256GB SSD and have about 10GB of free space so Weaviate freaks out that it’s +90% and goes into READ\_ONLY mode.
Can I raise this disk space threshold or disable the check when running locally?

Hi @kokogrr - I believe `DISK_USE_READONLY_PERCENTAGE` is the environment variable to adjust.
Please take a look here: [Persistence | Weaviate - vector database](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/configuration/persistence#disk-pressure-warnings-and-limits)
I hope that helps! 🙂

Thank you, I think that’s exactly what I needed. 🙂
