Root partition is filling up

I am seeing the below 2 errors.

Root partition is filling up - please check. Current usage: 98%

Log Disk is filling up - please check. Current usage: 91%

Here is the output for my putty session.

I have 2 updates ready to install but am waiting as I don't want to crash it but try to update.

I have manually backed up and cleared my firewall log but that didn't seem to free up any space.

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hi David and welcome to the UTM Community!

    The culprit behind getting / filled up is often a slew of un-applied Up2Dates.  What version are you on?

    In your original post above, you said the root partition was at 98%, but then we see:

       /dev/sda6 5.2G 3.3G 1.7G 66% /

    Please show us the output now of: df -h

    I wonder if the log partition is filling up because of a problem that's causing one of the log files to grow explosively.  What do you see with the following?

       du -shx /var/log/*.log | sort -rh | head -10

       (A trick learned from user kerobra 4 years ago.)

    Cheers - Bob
    PS As a mod, I can see the IP from which you're posting and it's in my wife's hometown.

  • Thanks Bob, I ended up rebuilding the log files. But you are right we have 3 unapplied updates we were trying to wait on until the log file issue was resolved.

    PS hello from upstate NY!!!
