Without it, you will not receive any help from the Garuda team or your topic is likely to be closed without notice.
I'm hoping for some advice on how to proceed. Currently I can't update my Garuda installation because there's not enough space.
It's installed in a single 29GB btrfs partition, with most of my user data stored on an external 32GB non-btrfs USB stick. This is just on a cheap laptop I use for working on when away from home.
The problem started last week when I tried a system update (via pacman -Syu).
After an hour downloading about a GB of newer packages it started to install them and I think tried to take a system snapshot. Unfortunately it failed, with timeshift reporting there was not enough space. There was a little under 1GB of free space. So the update did not proceed.
I looked at timeshift to try to see what snapshots had been taken, and indeed it reported there was not enough space (700MB available, less than the minimum needed of 1000MB).
There were four snapshots listed, and I deleted one in the hope of freeing enough space. It had a minuscule effect on disk usage.
Right now it's saying:
2021-11-28 16:04:49, 7.3GB size, 30.7MB unshared
2021-11-28 18:30:53, 7.3GB size, 13.5MB unshared
2022-01-01, 03:01:25, 9.8GB size, 5.1GB unshared
733MB available.
I think the above means that in 7.3GB of files, there's a delta of 30.7MB of changed files, and in a 2nd snapshot 13.5MB of differences. In the 2022 snapshot though there were a lot of changes (5.1GB).
When I ran pacman -Syu today it gave up much faster, not even downloading any updates because of insufficient space:

What would you advise?
My guess is that I should unmount my external 32GB user files and format a fresh 32GB USB drive as btrfs and change over to using that for timeshift's snapshots via btrfs.
I worry that otherwise, if I deleted the 5.1GB snapshot of 2022/1/1, after the fresh update from the really old snapshot, there wouldn't be space.
It also felt bad to me that the update didn't offer me the chance to proceed without taking a snapshot, on the understanding I'd be taking a risk in that if there was a problem, the system wouldn't be able to roll back to a known good state. (Maybe that's a reasonable safety precaution.)
Because the snapshots vary so much in actual size (from 13MB to 5GB), I lso wonder whether the "Not enough disk space" warning in timeshift is reporting the apparent size needed or the actual size the snapshot would need on a btrfs file system.
Anyway, those are just background thoughts. My main hope is to get some advice at what I can do to update my system.
Thanks in advance.
