Yep,,, you will probably want to do just that;  you would normally hope the 
process would end after the first error, but (alas) it's an imperfect world --- 
I'd advise you open a PMR, this smells like a problem that could/should be 
fixed via process-end.  

The caveat is that some processes will restart (repeatedly) due to your other 
settings (like reclamation thresholds, etc.) , which could cause this to recur 
-- though drive-cleaning should have resolved.
