Hello, I was watching a video on the browser, when I got a weird "toast" notification (it may be not the exact wording as I was rather expecting a "Low battery" notification, and it disappeared quickly):

Running out of space, check your device settings

I am using 6.2GB disk space on my device, and never went beyond that value yet (and never removed files to add other files). Could someone on the Jolla staff tell me in which case this notification is supposed to appear? Thanks!

Edit: It seems that watching one specific video in the native browser is causing this 'out of space'-notification.

Edit r0kk3rz: This seems to be happening to me frequently after installing 1.1.4.29, any more info about this?

I got exactly the same message today when I was watching Marc's speach at Digile Business Forum stage on my Jolla.

Oh, I was indeed watching this video too, on JollaUsers blog. Could it be related to the video?! Weird.

Can confirm. Got the same notification at about 5 minute mark of the mentioned video.

I followed memory and disk usage through the video, and it looked like that Jolla simply runs out of memory. All memory and swap was exhausted and the browser started eating up space from buffers.

I was NOT watching any video, and got this notification. Just use normal stuff as e-mail, Mitakuuluu, Tweetian, Android apps. I have over 40% free on memory, SD card and RAM. Android was really slow just now. Also CPU was very high.

Basically the "Running out of space" notification occurs when: One or more partitions/mount points (tracked by dsme daemon) get over 90% full.

However there have been multiple issues like:

The triggering level used (having 10% available can still be a lot of free space)
Things getting back to normal is not tracked / notified in any way
There is no action connected to the notification
Once user removes the notification, it will not be shown again until lipstick/device restart

A lot of fixes have been made to this functionality lately and should be included in > 2.1.0 SFOS releases.
