root file system full - huge chunk files
Hello,
I am running 6.7.3 and tried to upgrade to .4 and got the message there was not enough room.
So I ssh'd in and started looking and noticed my / was full.
I
mount --bind / /mnt
then in /mnt/ I discovered there was over 1300 chunk files all about 2-3mb
I tried
btrfs balance start -dusage=1 / &
but it didnt move anything.
Can I remove these or any ideas?

Balancing won't delete files.
I don't know what these files are. Are they right under /mnt??
Can you do:
du -d1 -h /mnt
Thank you for responding sorry I did not check back in I had to have a medical procedure =(
6.7M /mnt/bin
0 /mnt/boot
24K /mnt/dev
13M /mnt/etc
0 /mnt/home
33M /mnt/lib
4.0K /mnt/lib64
0 /mnt/media
0 /mnt/mnt
23M /mnt/opt
0 /mnt/proc
540K /mnt/root
0 /mnt/run
10M /mnt/sbin
0 /mnt/selinux
0 /mnt/srv
0 /mnt/sys
22M /mnt/tmp
459M /mnt/usr
403M /mnt/var
0 /mnt/data
0 /mnt/apps
29M /mnt/frontview
3.2G /mnt
So they are right under /mnt.
I would:
- Take a full backup of the data.
- Try to delete those chunk files.
Since I don't know what they are, you have to prepare for the worst. Deleting them may destroy the system volume and prevent the NAS from booting.
