system volume 100%
Hi community, i run again and again into trouble with messed up system volume. Last time i was able to clean this with deleting logs, addons etc. via ssh. Now i am not sure what to do: df - ...
If you have e.g. FTP enabled the USB disk would be mounted in a location under /var.
You need to be careful to distinguish between usage on the root volume and usage on the data volume or USB disks.
That inode check won't distinguish between them, but you can look at e.g.
# cat /proc/mounts
to see what is mounted where and what you can ignore when calculating root volume usage.
/apps is on the data volume not on the root volume so deleting stuff in /apps would have no effect on root volume usage.
That output suggests you need to look under /usr and /var to see what's using so many inodes.
Hi mdgm,
thank you for your answer.
man, i hate the community software. I wasnt able to edit my post nor to append another message.
The problem seems to be the data i store itself. I have 3 4TB HDDs connected to a Raid5 (?). Thats 7,5 TB at all. The disks are filled up to the half with many files (pictures, mp3, videos, backups). I backup my pictures to an external hdd via usb on the back. If i pull off the external hdd the inodes workload is down to 60%. So this is a kind of workaround for now.
Is this as intended? Does the external hdd (and the internal, too) add up to the inodes count of my root? I am not very familiar with file systems under linux.
Much regards.
