[SOLVED] Thread 'Proxmox HD space is getting full'

May 4, 2024

Hi.
Proxmox VE HD spase is getting full.

There have been no problems for three years. The disk has been full for the last 5-6 days and it is impossible to use the console because of this.
Returns an error: error 500 closing file '/var/tmp/pve-reserved-ports.tmp.2150368' failed - no space left on device
I ask you to help solve this problem. There were no such problems before. Due to the fact that I don't have enough knowledge in linux, I can't identify the exact problem to root it out.

df -h


df -aTh


findmnt

[SOLVED] Thread 'Is there any purge facility to free up disk space?'

Jun 7, 2022

Appears our system is starting to run low on disk space (VM running on Windows Hyper-V) and am looking for ways to reclaim disk space, as my understanding is that the emails are only temporarily stored and then removed.

Is there any tool via the GUI or commandline (Linux experience/exposure is minimal, so will need clear instructions) that can be used to locate and remove unneeded files or even purge unneeded database rows?

Alternatively, are there simple steps to follow with getting the VM image to use a larger drive, once we have allocated more space in the host?
