Hi sa sa, As per the best practices, maintain different mount points for the data directory and the archive location. In your case, data_directory is `/srv/data` and the archive location is `/srv/archive`, meaning both reside on the `/srv/` mount point. If your archive location is on a different mount point, your archives will fail (which will have its own repercussions) but your cluster will remain operational.
And also having alert system to send mails will help you as Masheed said.
