Resource limit matched

Zitat von JackElliott

I received an alert from OMV this morning

Code

The system monitoring needs your attention.

Host:        GTOFileServer
Date:        Sun, 05 Feb 2023 04:44:20
Service:     rootfs
Event:       Resource limit matched
Description: space usage 89.3% matches resource limit [space usage > 85.0%]

This triggered the monitoring system to: alert

How can I find out what the issue is? I have ssh access.

Thank you.

I'm assuming that means 80% of your OS drive is full?

What is the output of:

df -h /

Getting ready to go to bed, but assuming you come up with a high percentage of your OS drive full (over 80%)...

Well how the heck did it get so full?

Code

root@GTOFileServer:/# df -h /
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        29G   29G     0 100% /

UPDATE: It's a large entry in /media: 27GB.

I'm not sure what /media is for . . . the entry is labeled "BMP" which is a name I use for my portable HDD when traveling, that storage device is plugged into the OMV. The output of "mount" does not show the device, so it is not mounted. The files in /media/BMP are old, and irrelevant to me now. If this isn't some kind of mount entry then I reckon I should just be able to delete it. That's my thought, anyway, but I'll wait to hear in case that might be a very bad idea. Thank you.

Well.. I would delete the folder under /media.. not media itself.. it should be OK as long as you know you have the data elsewhere.

But you need to figure out how the data miraculously appeared there. Do you have some sort of automatic job (rsync, maybe a container pointing at the usb drive) that is auto creating that directory when the USB drive is not present.. and then moving data to that folder?

You've figured out the "what" happened, now you need to figure out the "why" to keep it from happening again.
