I need help

[Aleksandar]

I use FreeNAS server for recording video files from cctv IP camera,but problem appears when hhd gets full, is there a script that would delete chronologically oldest files when hdd gets 80% full? or some overwrite function?

Nothing that I can think of built in. However it should be easy enough to do with simple scripting.

You can use "df", or "zpool list" or something to determine how much space is left. If it's below a threshold, run 'find' specifying 'older than' a certain date, and a '-exec rm' kind of thing to delete old files.
