When I tried to start my only VM in my node I get this message:


closing file '/var/log/pve/tasks/active.tmp.1055' failed - No space left on device (500)


I recently expanded my swap to 90GB...maybe this is the issue ?

If so how do I reduce its size or move my swap to a second disk?

All the best and thanks for your help. Reuven
 
Hi everyone. Quick and rather urgent question:

How can I enlarge the root partition?. The disk is 500GB and the root partition is 94GB....and it is full...

here is my info:

root@pve:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 794M 89M 706M 12% /run
/dev/mapper/pve-root 94G 94G 0 100% /
tmpfs 3.9G 40M 3.9G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
ZFStest 481G 128K 481G 1% /ZFStest
/dev/fuse 30M 16K 30M 1% /etc/pve
