August 31, 20214 yr Hi, So I checked my server today and I noticed the cache drive was full. Last night it was in the green but this morning its full. I'm not sure what is taking up the majority of the space or why it ballooned over night. I tried manually running mover and nothing has changed. I also don't have anything major being copied to the cache drive. I did check in the domain folder and I saw some old VM's which I removed but still 97% of the space is being taken up.tower-diagnostics-20210831-1049.zip - I have included diags - What I want to know is what is taking up all of the space on the cache drive.
August 31, 20214 yr Community Expert Why do you have 100G docker.img? Have you had problems filling it? 20G is usually more than enough, and making it larger won't fix filling it, it will only make it take longer to fill. And I see it is already using 40G of that 100G. You almost certainly have one or more of your applications writing into docker.img. Each path specified in an application must match a container path in the docker mappings, case-sensitive. Probably your appdata is huge also. I have 16 dockers including plex, which is known to take a lot of space in appdata, but my total appdata is less than 16GB. What do you get from the command line with this? du -h -d 1 /mnt/user/appdata
August 31, 20214 yr Author @trurl Thanks for getting back to me/ To answer the first question, I don't remember what happened but I had an issue where I had to expand the docker size. I really wish I could remember what it was but I expanded the docker image to what it is now. I think I may have gone a bit overboard. Its still reading to send that info but here is what has posted so far: root@Tower:~# du -h -d 1 /mnt/user/appdata 1.8M /mnt/user/appdata/DiskSpeed 132K /mnt/user/appdata/Dolphin 3.9M /mnt/user/appdata/FileBot 1.1M /mnt/user/appdata/FileZilla 4.5M /mnt/user/appdata/HandBrake 233M /mnt/user/appdata/JDownloader2 332K /mnt/user/appdata/MediaInfo 296K /mnt/user/appdata/RDP-Calibre 724K /mnt/user/appdata/beets 77M /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-delugevpn 666G /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-emby 34G /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-krusader 602M /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-lidarr 76K /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-nzbget I will post the complete list when its done.
August 31, 20214 yr Community Expert With 666 GB for Emby and 100GB for docker.img file there is not much free space for anything else The 34GB for Krusader also looks rather large.

I'm not sure why Krusader has such a large size? I use that to sometimes move stuff over internally, is there a way to shrink it down? I also can decrease the docker size. Please note: the command that I ran has not returned - Plex would probably be the biggest resource on here and the terminal has just pause after nzb-get Any idea why this would happen? Also, there are a number of dockers that I tried but removed, (nzbget for example) I thought they had been removed from the system, what would be the best way to remove these ?

That would normally mean your media is located in some other user shares not living on cache. Have you put your media into its appdata? Does it have DVR capability and you are saving recordings into its appdata? Plex appdata seems to large too. Why are you running both emby and plex? 59 minutes ago, mwoods98 said: I had to expand the docker size 1 hour ago, trurl said: making it larger won't fix filling it, it will only make it take longer to fill.

You can delete the appdata folders for any docker you don't need anymore. Of course, nzbget for example, will only give you back 76K. Do you understand docker volume mapping?

When I first setup this server, I was trying to decide between Plex and Emby. I did install both. Plex is preferred so I can kill emby and save a bunch of space The media is on a different share, its not in appdata 24 minutes ago, trurl said: 1 hour ago, mwoods98 said: I had to expand the docker size 1 hour ago, trurl said: making it larger won't fix filling it, it will only make it take longer to fill. I run 16 dockers and they use about half of the 20G I have given docker.img Using the suggestion, I dropped the size of the docker image to 50G. However, the docker service will not start. Do I need to remove the image that is in the cache? that's still 100G and still there. 25 minutes ago, trurl said: 1 hour ago, mwoods98 said: there are a number of dockers that I tried but removed, (nzbget for example) I thought they had been removed from the system, what would be the best way to remove these ?

I think I do but I could always have a hole in my knowledge. I'm more than happy to apply suggestions to get this fixed. Thanks

None show up. Docker says there are no installed containers. I have rebooted the server and still don't see any dockers. Updated diags posted. tower-diagnostics-20210831-1410.zip

August 31, 20214 yr Community Expert Did you reinstall all your containers, or did you decide you didn't need some of them?
August 31, 20214 yr Author So I removed emby and only installed the ones I was used. I didn't re-install those that were installed at one point but were not being used. The cache drive is still listed as 96% full

Excellent point, I just thought things were loaded into cache at boot up time. Currently the cache drive is at 21% utilization. @trurl - I really want to thank you for your help today. I know this is not your job and I just wanted to say thanks for helping me today.
