    I’m this person in my organization. I sent an email up the chain warning folks we were going to eventually run out of space about 2 years ago.

    Guess what just recently happened?

      Literally sent that email this morning. It’s not that we don’t have the space, it’s that I can’t get a maintenance window to migrate the data to the new storage platform.

      Can’t you just add a few external USB drives? (heard this more than once at an NGO think tank.)

      Sometimes that person is very silly though. We had a vendor call us saying we needed to clear our logs ASAP!!! due to their size. The log file was no joke, 20 years old. At the current rate, our disk would be full in another 20 years. We cleared it but like, calm down dude.
