Hi,

My PBS has no empty space. Garbage Collection process cannot be finished, because no space left.

Here is the log:

I can delete some snapshots, but GC will not be finished again.
How can i free up disk space?

Thanks in advance.
 
I temporary moved the some chunk files (~ 5GB) to another disk and garbage collection process started. It took more than few days due to total size of backups is 20TB. I interrupted the gc and reinstall the new version of PBS.

Thanks Carles.
