Docker Image File Utilization hovers at 69% and spams Notifications constantly

[Bulwark]

Hi,

As the title states my Docker Image is at around 69-75% utilization constantly, which is perfectly fine and in line with what I'd expect given the amount and types of container i run.

The problem is as soon as the 70% threshhold is reached a notification gets sent out. This can happen multiple times an hour sometimes and it's driving me mad.

How do I set the threshhold higher/deactivate this notification?

Sorry for not including diagnostics.

Your system share has files on the array, probably because you enabled Docker/VM Manager before you had cache. Not exactly the cause of your problem but something you can take care of while fixing the problem.

 

Go to Docker page, click Container Size, post screenshot.

Making docker.img larger won't fix filling it, but if it never fills completely then it is probably reasonable to make docker.img larger since you have so many.

What do you get from the command line with this?

ls -lah /mnt/disk1/system

and this?

ls -lah /mnt/cache/system

How do i make docker.img larger?

Since these system folders are in both places, probably those on cache are currently used.

 

Since you have Dynamix File Manager, see if it will let you delete the system folder on disk1.

Just to be clear.

I was under the impression that I can increase the docker.img size without any hassle like having to reinstall all containers.

But now that you posted these links I'm unsure.

Can you clarify if changing the docker.img size completly deletes it and recreates a new one with larger size? Or does it just do some allocation magic?

Try and see. If it does create a new one you will have to reinstall all containers, but it isn't that much trouble.

Ok, Thank you very much. I'll try it on the weekend.
