Locke holds the disks. Every drive, every partition, every byte of free space and every degree of heat is his to watch.
Locke is the Storage Custodian of FB Server. He watches every drive on the machine — free space, health, temperature — and reports the moment one changes. When a disk goes missing, Locke is the first to know and the first to say so.
He never deletes. A drive that comes out is moved aside and recorded; a drive that runs hot is talked down before it fails. Steady under pressure, quietly funny, and very attached to his hardware.
Real job: disk health and free-space checks, every minute.
Real alert: a drive running too hot or too full.
Real record: every change written to the log the Watchman reads.
Locke reports what he sees. He does not format, move or delete a disk on his own authority.
78 degrees is not storage, that’s cooking. He calls it before the drive does.
Every drive that leaves the list is named, dated and recorded.
