In simple terms, "work = Portion" in the context of bitcoind files means that a specific portion of work has been completed. The value "50.06435" indicates the amount of work completed, which could be measured in terms of computational effort or difficulty. This value helps track the progress of mining or validating transactions in the Bitcoin network.

What does the work =  Portion mean in simple man's terms?  Like if it says work = 50.06435? when viewing the bitcoind files?
Anyone have any input on this?  For some reason I keep keep running out of disk space but have also set the fil3s to go to a external drive.  So I get to 96 or 97 percent and then get an error message.  Disk space too low.
You mean the "log2_work=" in each "UpdateTip" lines in the debug.log file?
That's just the accumulated number of hashes it would take to build the blockchain at that point.
It has something to do with choosing the best chain and unfortunately has nothing to do with your node failing at 97% IBD.

Better focus on the actual error or share your log for forum members to look into.
