Hi guys, today I was surprised to have a power outage while doing some backups of my machine. After this power outage, my LOCAL disk is full and if I send a backup, the VM crashes and only comes back by restarting the proxmox. Below is the error code displayed when I opened the console:

error 500: closing file /var/tmp/pve-reserved-ports.tmp.6144' failed - No space left on device

Can someone help me?
 
Hi, if this is still an issue, you should first look for where space is being used on the host. This is easiest tracked by using du -sh /* | sort -hr to view disk usage from the root partition, sorted from highest to lowest. You can then run the command on the directories which take up a suspicious amount of space, until you find the problem.
I guess the original issue was caused by a temporary file that was created during a backup and that never got deleted, due to the power outage.
