Steps to reproduce

  1. Run out of/low on disk space

What happened?

  1. The web environment will close the Indexedb database as normal. Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'transaction' on 'IDBDatabase': The database connection is closing.
  • The client also stops syncing
  • The client does NOT show an error, meaning that you won't know the sync has stopped. The only reason I know is that my logs are full of errors and my other clients continued to work.

Additionally, this sucks:

What did you expect?

  • An error when the client approaches or hits a disk space limit, at least giving you an action to recover

It appears you're not the only one facing issues when the browsers faces disk pressure, see #18258

An attempt at fixing it has been done as part of #18875
