hi:
My workstation got screwed up today, I cannot delete any file, nor write anything to the root filesystem, even though "mount" says there are a few GB free... any operation, including btrfs balance, defragment etc or "no space left on device" :-(((
I think I figured out what's going on, for some reason snapper wrote snapshots to the root filesystem in a directory called ".snapshots" those apparently are filling this small ssd drive.. attempting to delete subvolumes results in two different kind of mess ;)
- If I attempt to rm -rf .snapshots it says that it is read only fs
-If I attempt to delete using either snapper or btrfs subvolume, the kernel oopses and the the machine freezes up, REISUB has to be used to make it run again...
Unfortunaly my camera is also broken and I cannot take a photo of the crash..
aby hints appreciated,,,
I've saw exactly the same situation in a vm / being full 360Mb free during a zypper dup Was hardtime to understand what's happening until I catch snapper eating 9.8Go of the 16Gb (I think a ratio of a maximum of 50% should be never exceeded for snapshots) Then I user snapper delete to remove any snapshot referenced in the .snapshot After that I use rm -fr .snapshots and even the read-only message I was able to recover a lot of place. All actions were a bit vodoo so can't be really reported as a nice bug. Just say take care of snapper, .snapshot : it seems that the default used are not suitable. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
