It’s just that this case (a section running out of space) must be managed by deleting older chunks rather than losing random ones. But no worry for you, you’re among those you advocate this case will never happen.

In this situation, merge section, eliminating the most problematic nodes, seems to me a much better solution. Even in case of massive lack of space, a restart of the network seems less problematic.

My opinion is that I do not think it happens, but if it happens, the network is doomed and erase some chunks will not save it.

@tfa

Anyway, deleting a chunk should be a last resort action. My initial proposal (Sacrificial data vs non-permanent data) was a complement to a first level security brought by sacrificial data. This mechanism has been suppressed but must be replaced by something else.

Agree.
