[6.6.7] Docker image fIle almost full


Recommended Posts

I'm having an issue with my docker image file. It is getting close to full at 17.82GiB of 20GiB. I have done lots of searching and seen many forum posts and the solution to this was almost always some log file writing a ton of data or a container misconfiguration causing the containers volume to take up space. The best I can tell neither of these are the issue for me. The 'total' usage according to the docker settings page is 8.54GiB but the 'devid' usage is reported as 17.82GiB.

Label: none  uuid: c648ac9f-3453-4627-a91a-866facd87c32
	Total devices 1 FS bytes used 8.54GiB
	devid    1 size 20.00GiB used 17.82GiB path /dev/loop2

I don't have any old/orphaned images taking up space

And the usage report from Container Size on the Dockers page seems to be more inline with the 'Total' usage rather than the 'devid' usage, but still not quite the same

The only thing under /var/lib/docker (which is where it says the image is mounted) that's taking up any space is the btrfs folder, which is using far more space than the image has(58G vs 20GiB).

root@mnemos:/var/lib/docker# du -sh *
58G	btrfs
16K	builder
56K	buildkit
768K	containerd
34M	containers
68M	image
144K	network
0	plugins
0	runtimes
0	swarm
0	tmp
0	trust
0	unraid
4.0K	unraid-autostart
8.0K	unraid-update-status.json
456K	volumes

I'm not really sure how btrfs works, or what's going on here. Can anyone shed any light into why the usage on my image is so high compared to the space being reported as used and how to remedy the situation? Am I just reading something here wrong? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

If there are 17.82GB allocated it would mean that at some point in the past the actual used space was very close to that, as new chunks are allocated as needed, usually 1GB size, but after that a lot of space was freed.

Just so I understand what those numbers actually mean, the total space within the image is 17.82GiB and I am using 8.54GiB of it, and as more data gets added(new image downloads etc) it will fill up the gap without getting close to the 20GiB total image size? Am I understanding that right?
