Hi.
My home-assistant_v2.db file is almost 829 MB.
You have small database. This is not problem. Something else is filling your disk.
Check topics like this.

Hi.
I don’t have it in Docker.
How can I see where can the problem be?
Maybe journal is taking up space.
And yes you have docker but not standalone installation.

Look first of all you have to find out what is causing issue. When you find out what is going on than you can look out for solutions. By your first post something is filling your hd fast. You db is not large, so maybe problem might be somewhere in journal.
There are a lot of threads about this problem like this.
Can you check your /var/log directory with command like this
sudo du -sh /var/log
It will give you a lot of output but it might point you to the right direction.

I’m sorry but can’t test all the commands on my system right now.
cd /var/log
sudo du -sh *
or
sudo du -sh -d 1 /var/log
The goal is to check all directories in /var/log to see how many disk space is used by some directory or subdirectory.

I can’t see problem in /var/log. Check other directories like /usr

There you go you found one dir that has GB usage. This is probably mostly home assistant which should be in /usr/share/hassio or homeassistant.
But this is not all. You probably have more dirs with gb usage. Check it like that one by one from root tree /.

Thanks.
Yes. Found this:
6.9G hassio
38G log.hdd
There you go. 38 gb log file. You have to find out what is filling this log file and why.

Thanks.
Probably all the logs since i started with HA.
How can I do that?
Can it be cleaned?
It seems to me that this is log file from hdd. I don’t know which process created this file. Google it out. You can probably safely delete this file. But before you do that google it out to see which process created that file.
Maybe you can’t delete it while the process is running.

Thank you very much for your patience. This is really a community.
I will search before deleting it.
I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
