Hello, Sorry to ask for help for the same issue again, but I’m running out of free space at root partition very often. As you can see in the thread below, previously at 2021 I was running Manjaro from a 256GB SSD EXT4, but now I upgrade to a NVME 500GB BTRFS and still having issue. [i…

[image] lordsansui: and using BTRFS so even snapshots doesn’t take space Yes ! Snapshots do not use space. But old snapshots with different data (like complete VMs) do use space :wink: So be sure to: a) not make snapshots of VMs or b) remove old snapshots where VMs are included or c) mak…

Aren’t the replies to your previous thread still relevant?

They are and I already run all of them.

Then you should have all the information you need about your storage usage. So unless it doesn’t add up, you can clean in consequence… :person_shrugging:

I would not ask for help if I had all information, right? pac/pamac/flatpak many caches were cleaned, orphans and duplicate installation in flatpak removed. first time using BTRFS, I was expecting to get 8% free disk space for each virtual machine I delete and I deleted 2, but I don’t more then 4%…

The difference in reporting may come from the use of Btrfs: General linux userspace tools such as df(1) will inaccurately report free space on a Btrfs partition. […] The same limitations apply to tools which analyze space usage for some subset of the filesystem, such as du(1) or ncdu(1) , as they…

I just tried the the command line below from the post you shared and it reports 85% use. I’m not planning to do a new fresh install again, I hope we can find where the issue is. $ btrfs filesystem usage / Overall: Device size: 448.38GiB Device allocated: 413.02Gi…

Today I decided to delete all BTRFS snapshots from Timeshift and my free disk space increased from 19% to 75% witch is crazy, different from EXT4 I didn’t think that BTRFS snapshot could achieve such high disk space even cap the snapshot at 4. Thank you for all suggestions. If someone could let a g…

It all depends on the snapshot content. Since Timeshift makes incremental snapshots, through either RSYNC or Btrfs, only modified files are “duplicated”. But depending on what and when you make those, you may have a duplicate of a big file because of even a byte modified, or many files modified. A…
