<div>> 1. Does syslog-ng allocate buffers on disk as much as required and in small chunks? Or will it try to allocate all of the specified buffer at one (in this case 50GB)?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The disk space for disk buffers is allocated gradually first, only the amount needed.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> 2. Why couldn't syslog-ng resume operations after partition was freed up and destination was available?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That might be a bug. Once a destination becomes available (set time-reopen() to a lower value to check more frequently), syslog-ng should send messages out from the disk buffer.</div>
<div>Could you reproduce this issue and share the reproduction steps?<br>
</div>

<div>> 3. Why did all buffer files get deleted, after a restart</div>

What do you mean by getting deleted? syslog-ng does not remove disk buffer files completely, but it may rename corrupt buffers, for example.</div>
