Apache stop when disc full

[ayu]

So I was doing an experiment.
I filled up the disc of a Debian virtual machine that only had 8 GB to begin with.
But Apache continued to run on it and delivered requests just like normal.

Shouldn't it have stopped?
I mean, it can't log anything so anything that happens will go unnoticed until space is cleared.

Any thoughts on this?

Maybe because the space provided to the system is still free , I mean the system space and storage space r not in same partition space just a thought

[bad_brain]

Apache runs on RAM to serve requests, even if files are served because that only takes read access which still works when the disk is full (just write wouldn't work)....only if RAM is all occupied it begins to use actual disk space by swapping (if enabled)...

Hmm okay, will have to fill the RAM first then. Back to the planning table ^^

Oh and scatter, there is only one partition on the system for testing purposes
