[SOLVED] proxmox disk partition, no space left on device

[kerimdk]

Hello!
when i try to run apt update on my proxmox 7.2 server, i'm getting a list of errors and warnings because the / directory is full and it's saying that there's no space left on the device.

and i don't have a disk partition for LVM storage so i'm not able to add ISO files anymore, what can i do in this case to re-configure the disk partition correctly on my server? any help or idea about the disk configuration would be appreciated.

I'd say dedicating only 10GB to root was not a good idea... First you gotta try to get some free space back, most likely by cleaning up some log files.

Then, resizing the root partition is only possible if you have space left on the disk after that partition. Can you evacuate the contents of /var/lib/vz ? Then you could delete the third partition, increase the size of /dev/sda2 and re-create a smaller third partition.

thanks for your reply,
i tried to evacuate the contents of /var/lib/vz and delete the /dev/sda3 partition, but it stills visible on the GPU and lsblk command's output, and not visible in fdisk and parted outputs, and can not delete it 'cause it's busy, i even have killed the process of that file but his content always stills there, i'm not able to increase the size of /dev/sda2 partition because it's the root file.

I am working with 8gb
Free is around 3,5 GB

One likely Problem is /lib/modules filling up the space.
I have created a cleanup script a while ago. See here:

Great! Please mark the thread as solved (edit it, there's a dropdown near the title) so others with the same problem can find it more easily.

thank you very much for that great script.

Glad it helped. 980 MB free isn't exactly a lot. So you might run into this again sooner or later...

actually after that i tried to install NVIDIA vgpu driver but it stopped on 5% then i rebooted the server but it didn't started again and i've formatted it, now i'm having issues with my network conf. on the vms, I'll post about it in a new forum. :')
