Filesystems "gone" After fixing GUI Loop due to Full Root File System

  • Long time lurker, first time poster. Forgive me, I do not know all the right terminology or logs to post :)


    Recently ran into the GUI login loop due to a very full boot disk. This likely took place because an Rsync push to a separate server didn't work correctly, and filled the boot disk


    I have used this excellent guide by macom in the past: [How-To] Fix full OS filesystem - GUI login loop , in conjunction with this post: RE: [How-To] Fix full OS filesystem - GUI login loop within that same thread.


    I mounted /srv to a different place in order to see hidden contents:

    Code
    mkdir -p /mnt/rootfs                  # create an additional mount point for your root file system
    mount --bind /srv /mnt/rootfs         # mount /srv to the new mount point
    cd /mnt/rootfs                        # go to the place where the real contents of /srv can be seen
    du -hxd1 /mnt/rootfs | sort -hr       # check disk usage in the mount point


    delved into a culprit directory and deleted only that directory with ' rm -r ' to free space.


    I then attempted to unmount the file system with umount, but it stated it was busy.


    I went from the following list of Filesystems, seen with the df command:


    Please note the systems that were 93% full in the above screenshot. These appear to all be part of the RAID configuration.


    Now, these file systems no longer appear to be 93% full.


    The file filesystems that originally made up the VOL2:44d1139e-606f-47a5-ad5f-9c28f388706c Filesystem mounted on /srv/mergerfs/VOL2:

    included

    /dev/sdc1

    /dev/sdb1

    /dev/sda1

    /dev/md0


    I ran df -halT just now and found that those same Filesystems,

    /dev/sdc1

    /dev/sdb1

    /dev/sda1

    /dev/md0


    are still mounted, yet do not show their Used, Available or Use%. My previous RAID doesn't appear in the GUI.


    Thank you for any help.
