Hi nsne,

 

Could you provide us a copy of the device logs? Also PM me the case or ticket number you received from support.

    For the sake of posterity, the device logs. I wonder if the ten-minute intervals are exacerbating the problem?

      About 1GB of the 4GB OS partition is being used by the LMS app alone.

      # du -csh /var/lib/squeezeboxserver
691M	/var/lib/squeezeboxserver
691M	total

# du -csh /usr/share/squeezeboxserver
307M	/usr/share/squeezeboxserver
307M	total


      When apps store a lot of data on the OS partition that does contribute to getting error messages like this. There are a few other things as well that have contributed to the high root volume usage.

       

      The usage going up then down then back up again would relate to log truncation/pruning presumably.

      Most things that are not stored on the data volume would be stored on the root volume.

        Thanks, mdgm-ntgr. Besides LMS, what exactly is taking up so much space? And is there anything that can be done about it?

         

        I saw in one of the other threads the SSH shell command for moving the LMS cache to data. Is there anything else that I can do to get data out of rootfs?
