An upgrade failed because of not enough disk space. I’ve balanced, I’ve scrubed, I’ve deleted files & snapshots, I’ve added more space. It shows enough disk space & metadata. When I try to even rename a file, it says ‘not enough disk space’. I can only chroot from a live USB. How can I get the system to recognize the space so I can begin to fix this.
With over 1GB of free space, I am unable to rename a file (etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bak to etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist) or run mkinitcpio. Which I should be able to do.
Honestly, I wouldn’t do anything about it anymore.
@BluishHumility has already mentioned the first point. You need more free space.
The WD Scorpio Black is probably just as old as the laptop, the remaining SMART values probably look even worse than those shown in the garuda-inxi.
It would probably make more sense if you made a backup, bought a new drive (SSD) and reinstalled garuda.
But this time with a larger root partition and a current iso - GARUDA DR460NIZED TALON is a bit old.
Yes, those are other partitions. Unrelated to Garuda. I had taken 3GB from one of the other ones and added it to this partition, which temporarily fixed things, but quickly filled up (by what I’m not sure) when I tried to do garuda-update.
It doesn’t. It consumed a good amount of disk simply trying to run garuda-update. Between added space & deleted files, about 5GB? And it shows empty space. I’d rather get to the root of this issue rather than throw disk at the problem only to have it grow to full again.
had this happen to me too, funninly enough also during an upgrade. Try a btrfs check. If it does come up with a ton of filenames with errors then I suggest to just reinstall. I also tried scrubbing and everything, but to no avail.
Apparently btrfs hates being completely filled to the brim.
You need more disk space for what you are trying to do.
Don’t forget, with snap-pac installed you are going to add two Btrfs snapshots with every Pacman transaction (a pre and a post). Btrfs snapshots are tricky to account for from a disk space perspective, because they “remember” things that you have deleted from the disk already. If you delete a file that is captured in a snapshot, no disk space is released until you delete the snapshot as well.
Additionally, if you are pulling down 500 MB of packages during an upgrade, and those are replacing 500 MB of old versions of those same packages, you need 1000 MB to take the upgrade because the old version of the packages remain in the package cache.
You should avoid a crash during an upgrade at all costs. If your disk is only 34 GB and it is 96% full, that means you only have like one gig of space left. I would not risk it.

Yes he has.
I try to remove all the “12” in his inxi for better reading.

Agreed, not trying to full upgrade with this little free space. Want to understand how the filesystem works. I can delete things & no extra space opens up. It will show space & say it’s out of space.
