Help! Ran out of space on root partition

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi,

So I’m an idiot first of all for only assigning 40GB for the root partition(I think it was default in the installer). So today I installed the latest updates and I ran out of space.

It’s a btrfs filesystem, what can I do now? Is there a way I can resize it?

Help please.

Hi
No need to resize, just cleanup snapshots and balance…

Have a read here (Section - Disk Space Full Because of Snapper): SDB:BTRFS - openSUSE Wiki

You might want to re-configure how many snapshots are kept as well…

Thank you!

This hasn’t happened to me yet.This was a huge update though (about 3600 packages I think, like 2 GB).

Hi
So all good now, recovered space ok?

I think so, It’s at 20/40GB now, I’ve deleted all the snapshots and did the balance. I think it should be good.
