with the -X option of sbf2rin, it is possible to include the channel number in RINEX. When the -X option is enabled and the first observation type is missing (e.g. the receiver tracks L2C but not L1CA), all observations are discarded in the RINEX file. This
has remained undetected so far as the -X option is rarely used and the first observation type is typically available -- this issue was not present in 5.2.0.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

Nonetheless, by default the receiver automatically deletes old files from the disk that is becoming full. The files are deleted by Priority set via setLogSession command and then by age – by default all files are medium priority so priority typically does not
play a role. The receiver only stops logging, which again is not the default behavior, when StopLogging action is issued via the DiskFullAction command.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
