Root partition is full, cannot update

Remuflon

I'm right back in the same mess I had a few years ago.  I rebuilt my UTM server, and now we are back at 100% disk full again.

This was my previous thread: https://community.sophos.com/utm-firewall/f/general-discussion/111308/root-partition-90-full

/var/up2date/sys is empty.

We have another SWAP file just like last time.  It is date is from 2019 and it's 3.2 G.

I have deleted all the log files I could, and ran /etc/init.d/postgresql92 rebuild

No change.  The disk is almost empty (1%) but UTM show 93% full and I cannot apply any updates.

Again, my up2date folders are empty.

    Can I safely delete "swapfile"?

    Hi ,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Community! 

    Is web caching turned on? Go to Web Protection > Filtering Options > Misc > Web Caching. 

    I'd not touch the swap file. :) 

    PS: Even though the web caching is turned off, try to clear the cache. Probably you had it turned on at some point in the past.

    Thanks,

    Hi ,

    Could you please post a screenshot from Logging & Reporting > Log Settings? 

    Thanks,

    Hi ,

    Thanks for the screenshot. 

    As per our conversation over personal messages, you could try to change the log retention period by changing the value from the drop-down. This will purge old logs on the next log cleanup cycle. 

    Thanks,

    Update:  I managed to find a gig of data I could delete, and I am now able to complete the update.

    However, this 5 Gig swap partition appears to me to be a chronic problem that continues to come back and bite people.

    Thanks for your help and I would like to keep investigating this to come up with a permanent solution.

    How big is your hard drive?  It looks like it's too small and should be replaced.

    Not sure why you created a large swapfile.  You can get it down to 2GB (or 1 - don't remember) with

    cc set settings extra_swap 1

    Cheers - Bob

    I did not create the swapfile, Sophos did.  Also, my drive is 300 gigs and is less than 1% full.

    All the space is used up in a tiny 5 gig partition that the sophos installer created.  That's where the problem is.

    I will investigate the cc command you mentioned, thanks.

    P.S. this same problem has occurred on other UTM builds I set up.
