A question about "log.retention.size"

Hi all,

I mount 3 disks (e.g 1TB each) to 3 partition directories (topic-0/
topic-1/ and topic-2/). How could I control the log size? Should I set
"log.retention.size" to 3TB or 1TB? And If I set it to 3TB, what will
happen when one disk crashed?

log.retention.size is per partition. Currently, if the kafka broker hits
any I/O exception, it shuts itself down.

Thanks,

Jun
