Unable to delete backups, No space left on device

[Pito2317]

Hi, so, i noticed that today my BPS server storage just has filled up, i was trying to do some cleaning tasks, but here are results:

2024-02-08T13:23:34+01:00: starting garbage collection on store HDD1
2024-02-08T13:23:34+01:00: Start GC phase1 (mark used chunks)
2024-02-08T13:23:34+01:00: TASK ERROR: update atime failed for chunk/file "/mnt/datastore/HDD1/.chunks/cb4e/cb4ef34b3aa1a14d58b309b5466bd8759f9d6539ac2af48580eaad823b0e6188" - ENOSPC: No space left on device

I want to add that i have only one storage: HDD1. What should i do now?

You will temporary have to move some chunk dir's in /mnt/datastore/HDD1/.chunks/ to another disk.

Enable maintanance mode on datastore HDD1
mv /mnt/datastore/HDD1/.chunks/ff* /some/other/disk or safer 2 steps cp -a and rm
then delete some backups from the webinterface
The run the garbage collection
check HDD1 disk space with df
mv /some/other/disk/ff* /mnt/datastore/HDD1/.chunks/ or safer 2 steps cp -a and rm
run Verify Job
disable maintanance mode on datastore HDD1
