PBS disk keeps getting full

[homepve]

Hi,

I have a PBS LXC inside my Proxmox Datacenter, I know this is not the best approach but I don't have yet a spare device to install PBS.

When I first deployed it, i assigned 8GB to the LXC. A few months ago I got disk full and resized it to 10GB.

Today I saw it was again full, so I've resized it to 15GB.

I guess something is wrong because if it keeps growing I'll need to keep resizing it.

This LXC it also has Duplicati installed, I can delete it, I usually don't use it.

Thank you.

Install ncdu into the LXC and figure out what is the largest file, it's usually going to be the cause of why the disk is filling up.

Hi,

Excuse me for the delay and thank you for the reply. This is what I get:

/var: 6.7 GiB
/usr: 2.8 GiB

If I go deeper...

• /var/lib: 3.3 GiB
  • /var/lib/proxmox-backup: 3.0 GiB
    • /var/lib/proxmox-backup/rrdb: 3.0 GiB
• /var/log: 3.0 GiB
  • /var/log/journal: 1.5 GiB
  • /var/log/proxmox-backup: 1.2 GiB
    • /var/log/proxmox-backup/tasks: 1.1 GiB
• /usr/lib: 2.2 GiB

Thank you.

Look like you need to clean up and delete old logs and tasks

Thank you!

Any recommended way to do it? Apart from just doing rm.

I have not used it myself, but maybe limit by number of days:

proxmox-backup-manager node update --task-log-max-days N
