#System is extremely large but nothing actually exists on disk

My "system" storage has grown rapidly over the past day but there is not any actual disk usage.

#

I have had to uninstall addons and delete backups in order to avoud running out of room. 2gb has been used in the past 10 minutes.

#

I have made 0 config changes.

that is what this screenshot is from

#

there is 0 disk usage

half stag
#

You are inside the addon though.

cerulean gull
#

yes - sorry is that not what the guide says? install the ssh addon?

half stag
#

Not if you want to see all.

cerulean gull
#

sorry I'm lost then.

#

what am I missing

cerulean gull
#

ah.

#

sec

half stag
#

Addons can't see all the OS data by default but it's already explained in detail there.

cerulean gull
#

seems that i am unable to install advanced ssh

#

ah no just lagging.

half stag
#

I'm guessing it's just containers or old images. ha supervisor repair and docker system prune -a might be able to remove some of that.

cerulean gull
half stag
#

Yeah the new containerd store uses a lot of space.

cerulean gull
#

repair seems to be reducing size

cerulean gull
#

it was a manual process too so could have avoided this

cerulean gull
#

is there a way to un-migrate?

half stag
#

Not supported.

#

32G is very little though. What's docker system df -v say?

cerulean gull
#

brutal. this should be mentioned in the update notes beside the command to "upgrade"

half stag
#

I suppose you could upgrade to a small SSD?

cerulean gull
#

yeah just frustrating that this system worked fine for a very very long time and now suddenly the disk usage quadruples

half stag
#

Should be about 30% or so max more. Docker's prune might clear some more.

cerulean gull
#

prune cleared almost nothing

#

It did quite literally quadruple unfortunately

#

repair seems to have cleared 4gb or so

half stag
#

Repair does basically the same.

cerulean gull
#

so we are back to functioning. i will upgrade to an ssd

half stag
#

A more aggressive way is docker system prune -af --volumes but that is riskier.

#

Just make sure to use a powered USB HUB with a pi.

cerulean gull
#

fyi check out the patriot supersonic rage prime. unbelievably stupid name but good product

#

very cheap, SSD performance, usb form factor. great for pis. have been holding off switching bc I am lazy 😆

half stag
#

I would not recommend that.

cerulean gull
#

no?

#

just an ssd on a stick.

half stag
#

No. Get a proper full size SSD with proper wear leveling and SMART and so on.

cerulean gull
#

no this is.

#

full ssd controller. from phison.

half stag
#

I don't trust the small form factor not to overheat or be built worse. You also can't use it with a real PC in the future.

cerulean gull
#

I own like 8 of em and use em for every pi I have. can't beat $40

half stag
#

But as long as it has more data and you're happy then it's fine by me.

cerulean gull
#

well, repair seems to have solved my problem. but you shouldn't need to ssh in to do this

#

why is there not a repair button in web?

half stag
#

I bought 480G Intel SATA SSDs for 25-30 bucks a while ago. Now it's probably more,

cerulean gull
#

brutal

half stag
#

Because HAOS is supposed to be self maintained. They don't expose a lot of system stuff.

#

I still can get a S4500 for 30.

cerulean gull
#

the one click "unfuck this please" button i think should be exposed.

#

i had to delete backups to be able to install the ssh addon

half stag
#

Tell the developers 🙂

cerulean gull
#

yeah we know that aint going anywhere 😆 i will just keep ssh installed and hope and pray that whatever caused this wont happen

#

if there is a bounty program or something I will put $50 cad towards web accessible repair button.

half stag
#

A keyboard and monitor can also be used. SSH should be installed by default. I argued for that since forever but eh...

#

I don't use HAOS myself so I can't be arsed to invest that much energy into it.

cerulean gull
#

this has also halved my backup size. wtf.

cerulean gull
half stag
#

Yep.
