My server ran out of disk space because my archive directory was full
ow write ahead logs.

My warm standby had lost it's mounted NFS volume and thus stopped
reading in the archives from the master.

Would I have run out of space if the standby hadn't stopped reading
them in?

I.e, should I be deleting the old logs myself or should the warm
standby be managing them?
