I’m running HA on an Odroid N2 with 16GB of space.
The HA instance isn’t very complicated, I compare it to my home instance which is much more complicated, but doesn’t use as much disk space.
Storage tells me I’m using 10GB of system space for system, 0.6GB for backups and 0.6GB for HA. There’s 2.4GB Free Space.
However, the lifetimebar saus 100% used?!
When I do du -h / -d 2 | sort -h in terminal (from the root) I see various ‘larger’ directories, but it totals up to 2GB.
Recorder says it uses 0.5GB which should be ok
I’ve tried all sorts of things to get the disk space consumption down, but it doesn’t seem to work.
Can anyone give me some indication on where to go from here?
That was my first thought as well, but the eMMC is not old (may be been in use for two years) and when I search on the Internet about this lifttime bar I see conflicting information. One says it’s still to do with used space on the eMMC and the other says it’s measuring the durability of the eMMC.
That last thing would be interesting as how would you measure that and why would a eMMC which has been in use for four years on a much heavier system still be on 30% whilst this one is on 100%?
As far as I know, lifetime is about durability, not used/free space. What I suspect is this:
HA is very heavy on writes if you do nothing to tune it down (recorder settings, etc). Your EMMC is more than 80% filled, which is generally advised against. The little space that is left is what the drive can do to do wear leveling, which isn’t much. So the small part that is free is quite heavily used for the frequent HA writes.
What I think is that lifetime is calculated agains memory cells that have gottent the worst wear and are about to fail sooner than later. The bigger the drive, the more free space, the more wear leveling can distribute writes over the cells, the longer its lifetime expectancy.
