please helpme

Linux no longer uses the UNIX® System V-style initialisation.

  • Linux uses systemd.

Once logged in to the system via the Virtual Terminal – tty1 … tty6 – please check the following system status indications –

 # systemctl is-system-running
 # systemctl log-target
 # systemctl status init.scope
 # systemctl status system.slice

Please check the amount of free disk space on your system –

# lsblk --fs

Then, please check the systemd Journal –

 # journalctl --disk-usage
 # journalctl --flush
 # journalctl --list-boots
 # journalctl -b 0 -output=short-monotonic --no-hostname

I suspect that, you well find that, your system doesn’t have enough free disk space.

  • If, the systemd Journal is using too much disk space –
  1. Drop into the systemd Rescue mode –

# systemctl rescue

  1. Reduce the amount of systemd Journal on the system’s disk(s) –
    Assuming that, you don’t need to keep the systemd Journal entries for system administration reasons –

# journalctl --vacuum-time=1months

HI
i sure you are right il got problemes since i update to 15.4 with btrf
i did what you said , but i can’t move to rescue mode the screen freeze

regards

I also have a syntax error in line
journalctl -b 0 -ouput=short-monotonic --no-hostname

Hi
i have found !!
in fstab i have an entry for my removable disk
i erase the line and i can boot
best regard

OK, so you have a Btrfs system partition – you should periodically check for enough free space with the following system administrator command:

# btrfs filesystem df /

Further, in YaST, check the number of Btrfs snapshots present and, remove older no longer needed system snapshots – to free up the available space on your system partition.


Oops – I had a syntax error in the journalctl line – the “–output=” option should have two hyphens –

# journalctl -b 0 --output=short-monotonic --no-hostname


Why an fstab entry for a removable disk?

  • Currently, almost every sensible GUI desktop uses “Filesystem in Userspace” (FUSE) to mount removable media for a specific user.

Hi
I don’t kinow why and because the entry was added in fstab !
I use often removable USB/disk
i remember i mount one of my disk to format it , it as trooble

I look at fstab because you direct me to an error on disk and i have saw an error message in the log talking about missing removable disk …
so

once more thank’s

I will look at BTRF c ommand i am not very easy with this i prefer ext4 , i never have trooble with

btrfs filesystem df /
Data, single: total=297.01GiB, used=283.66GiB
System, DUP: total=32.00MiB, used=48.00KiB
Metadata, DUP: total=3.00GiB, used=2.11GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=458.77MiB, used=0.00B

In which case you can’t use FUSE –

  • With Linux only the system administrator can partition and format disks.

For your Use Case, I recommend that, you use YaST to safely partition and format disks.

:sunglasses:

But (I also prefer ext4), your Btrfs free space (Data) for the system partition (/) seems to be not really enough for reliable system operation.

  • For the Desktop GUI you’re using – GNOME or KDE Plasma – there’s usually a filesystem tool available to view the system’s partitions and their free space –
    For GNOME: “Disks
    For KDE Plasma: “KDiskFree
With Linux only the system administrator can partition and format disks.

For your Use Case, I recommend that, you use YaST to safely partition and format disks.> Blockquote

I always use yast for these type of opération
I don’t know why yast write in fstab the usb removable disk ?

Thanks for information i will take a look to kdiskfree

best regards

Because you told it to “mount disk”, which it interprets as wanting it automatically mounted on boot. For a USB drive, I always tell it “do not mount”, and then I manually mount as desired.

i lauch kdiskfree and i did’nt see any trooble, all are under 31% use

It seem snapshot is full

Then, use the YaST Snapshot management tool to remove the older snapshots.

Hi
I don’t know how to remove snapshot, i don"t see the free space in volume
before with ext4 i was easy, i have 3 volumes
/ for system
/home pour data
ans swap
and i can see for each the size and the free space.
now with BTRF i did’nt undestant and teh system and data ares not separated

I will take a look to documentation and see what i can do
Regards

bonjour
Merci mais franchement je ne vois pas comment m’en servir
je vois une liste de snap mais pourquoi les virer ? lesquels et quel est le taux d’occupation ?

dès que possible je repasse à ext4
