Re: EdgeMax Firmware Upgrade - Not enough disk space for root file system

Hi,

 

I ran into the same issue yesterday with my ER-X under EdgeMax v1.9.0:

After a commit/save on configure (adding an openvpn interface), I loose all access to the ER-X :-/ Not sure which is the issue here !!

 

A reset permit to recover the ER-X, but space was very low, like 99% used, which conduct me on this thread.

I was not aware before of very low space available on this device

 

Thanks guys for the tips, very useful ! :

 

sudo delete system image
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -R /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo rm -R /var/cache/apt/archives

 

However, after all that, around only 20% space left available on device.
I was using before the crash apt-get to install some packages like dnsutils & vnstat

 

A few investigations conduct me to /root.dev on which I discover 2 folders named "w.xxxxxxxx" where xxxxxx are hexa
These 2 folders eat up a lot of space (not noted)

 

After deleting them, I recovered lot of space, my ER-X root is around 41% used now

 

I guess that was the root cause of my issue, and these folders are sort of "backup" or ghosts of system on commit/save

 

I DO NOT delete the /root.dev/w folder which seems to be the current live system.

 

Can someone can confirm to me the following:


1- It's safe to delete /root.dev/w.xxxxxxx folders
2- /root.dev/w folder is live system
3- in /root.dev there is squashfs.img (along with corresponding md5), which is probably the system image

 

Thanks a lot !
Brouno
