RE: [Avid-L2] Unity Percentage vs Actual amount of free space on Workspace Performance?

I always thought that the percentage free in a workspace didn't matter as long as the overall space on the ISIS/unity was healthy. Because the workspace is just a virtual volume right, not an actual physical hard disk? So you could have a workspace at 99% but still be ok if the overall capacity of the ISIS was at say 80%? Or is this incorrect? I've seen places make safety workspaces that are, say 2TB (depending on overall size of storage), which are just empty workspaces that are used as a buffer to make sure no one fills her right up.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Unity Percentage vs Actual amount of free space on Workspace Performance?


























The unity is pretty full where I'm at. There are a few workspaces in the Red, over 90% full, and a couple over 80% full, Yellow IIRC. Some of these are large workspaces and they still have 150 to 200 GB available. That's a lot of space free in my book but is the Unity still going to have issues, such as errors or whatever, with the high percentage of use in these workspaces with 150 to 200 GB available. Does the size of the free space matter more than the percentage of the workspace being used? Not having any specific issues right now but I'm being told I can't add media to the work spaces that still have what I consider a lot of free space.
