I have HA 2021.11.5 installed on a virtual machine housed on. Synooogy NAS. Originally I dedicated 32GB storage to the VM.
When updating to 2021.11.5 I noticed I was out of space. I removed the backups (the older ones) from the VM but still shows having no space.
I’ve ended up increasing the space on the VM to 64GB but I may need missing something about how I can free up space.
Check if you have any old databases in root (config folder). HA database sometimes gets corrupted, and then HA starts a new one. Old one is then renamed to something_corrupted (similar to that). Delete those if they exist.
Did you change default HA history (recorder) length (which is 10 days)?
Also: do you have InfluxDB installed? It’s database rises indefinitely, since it’s not limited to 10 days as it is in HA database.
Backups can quickly take a lot of space. I have set to store backups on my main Synology, not inside HA.
I am resurrecting this thread because I am at my wits end. I keep having to expand the space of my VM to accomodate home assistant.
When I examine the files used by HA I am only using about 5G but my VM constantly fills up. I read in a few threads this may be caused by the overlay2 director, but I cannot see this directory.
I have a synology NAS 918+ running HA 9.5 and Core 2023.3.6.
Shouldn’t there be a way that I can access the file system of the VM to see this ‘overlay’ directory and delete any large files within it?
Di you figure this out?
No. But Jane not had problems with this in some time now. I have no idea why.
