    I’m this person in my organization. I sent an email up the chain warning folks we were going to eventually run out of space about 2 years ago.

    Guess what just recently happened?

      Literally sent that email this morning. It’s not that we don’t have the space, it’s that I can’t get a maintenance window to migrate the data to the new storage platform.

      Can’t you just add a few external USB drives? (heard this more than once at an NGO think tank.)

        I mean I’ve worked at a hosting company that had a bunch of static sites running off an SSD connected by usb to the server so this did happen back in the day. I try not to think about those days.
