node disk full 100%

[charleslcso]

Hello,

On the 14 Sep I reboot the PVE after more than 1 year of up time.

After that, the local disk suddenly being filled up. It is now at 100%.

I can't figure out how to enlarge it. It is currently at 100GB. Also I can't figure out which log to inspect to get to the bottom of these.

Please someone help.

Considering it was filled up within a couple of hours - you should not enlarge it. You should find the reason and resolve it. (Backups? Temp folder?)
Start with sudo du -hxs /* and go deeper then.

You've had a kernel update (at least one) in that period, as is evident by the build date in your image (2024-07-26), so anything has the potential to go wrong.

Backtracking to each update is not that easy, & I agree with michabbs above that your first focus should be as to what is filling up that storage.

Once you've got it somewhat settled - maybe it is time to update to the current supported version of PVE (8+).

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RESTORABLE BACKUPS OF EVRYTHING!

Oh, I did not notice it's so old... Generally Debian/Proxmox kernels are rock solid, but yeah, there is potential to go wrong... I wouldn't cry. I bet it's something easy. Just find out what folder has grown up and solution should be obvious. Downgrade kernel, delete junk and you should be fine.
