It would seem I can’t write to my SD card, or move / delete files. Is this a symptom of the card being full? I am trying to rebuild my config file due to an unrelated issue (or maybe not?), here’s terminal output:
pi@raspberrypi:/home $ cp homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml pi/.homeassistant
cp: error writing ‘pi/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml’: No space left on device
cp: failed to extend ‘pi/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml’: No space left on device
pi@raspberrypi:/home $
I’ve heard of this happening- short of reinstalling on another SD, how might I remedy this?
edit after reinstalling default config file I get the following errors on the frontend, which also points to storage being full
Have a look at the contents of the homeassistant/.homeassistant folder.

Ok, thank you!
I’ll probably try to save the logs for now
Unless you make use of history, it is totally unimportant.

are you referring to
home/pi/.homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db
or
homeassistant/.homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db
the .db file in the pi folder is 350 MB, the rest aren’t larger than a few hundred bytes.

Looks like var/log is the culprit?

You can delete old logfiles in var log. Anything that has been gzipped is fair game. Depending on what the sizes are for contents of /var/log you can consider changing how logrotate handles logfiles. Take a look at /etc/logrotate.conf

does that include all .gz files in all subdirectories? i.e.:
find . -name "*.gz" -type f -delete
I personally would leave off the delete and see what shows up first. Have a look, and then run it again with the delete flag. Any log that has been gzipped should be fine. I just like to see what they are and relative sizes. If I have log files that are large and have just started growing, it might be an indication of something to look into.
Make sure you start in the /var/log directory

looking in var/log, daemon.log and syslog.1 are both about 14.5 gigs…
Just delete syslog.1 it is old. daemon.log should be rotated but once you have removed syslog.1 you will have room.

thank you. I should leave daemon.log alone I presume. what do you mean by rotated? I should head over to /etc/logrotate.conf and learn? thank you for your help, man.
Those logs should not be that large. Either is something wrong that there is so much written to them or they aren’t rotated often enough. logrotate will use the information in it’s conf file to determine when to swap in a new file, compress the old and delete the oldest. This isn’t a corporate server in a hostile environment so you don’t need lots of log files to pour over looking for bad stuff. They are helpful for tracking down errors but you don’t need lots of history. You can change the weekly to daily and save 2 ???

Depending on your platform, you may need to make changes in /var/logrotate.d/rsyslog or syslog

I highly recommend moving away from a SDcard any dump your image onto a USB thumb drive, if on a Pi 3.
