 ### 12. Define a dedicated storage path or device for trade data on `mevnode`
 
 - Pending.
+- Current preferred target layout on `sol` is to place trade persistent storage on the root NVMe filesystem `/`, because validator ledger and validator state already have their own dedicated devices.
+- Do not place `Postgres` or `Redis` on `/data/ledger` or `/data/state`.
+- Reserve a dedicated `1 TiB` storage budget for `Postgres` on `sol` as the first target sizing for `R001`.
+- Reserve a separate small storage budget for `Redis` on `sol`, initially `2 GiB` unless persistence requirements change.
+- Prefer a dedicated path such as `/srv/trade/postgres` and `/srv/trade/redis` over implicit storage under `/var/lib/rancher/k3s/storage`.
+- On the current `btrfs` root filesystem, the preferred implementation path is a dedicated subvolume plus enforced `qgroup` quota for each persistent component.
 
 ### 13. Define hard storage quotas and monitoring for trade data on `mevnode`
 
 - Pending.
 - Use enforceable limits, not only declarative PVC sizes without backend enforcement.
 - Add warning and critical thresholds for disk usage, inode usage, and PVC growth.
+- Target hard quota for `Postgres` on `sol`: `1 TiB`.
+- Target hard quota for `Redis` on `sol`: `2 GiB` unless later requirements justify persistence growth.
+- Keep enough unallocated free space on the root NVMe for the OS, `k3s`, container images, logs, and rollback operations after trade quotas are reserved.
