Can you confirm that it’s the recorder database (by default, home-assistant_v2.db) which is growing?
I’ve been working on some simple instructions for identifying and excluding unneeded recorder entries to get and keep the database a reasonable size. If it’ll help I can share what I’ve got so far.
The database is in the Config folder, same place as you’ll find configuration.yaml. Use whatever file manager you use to open and edit that. Sort by file size. Unless you manage what gets stored in the recorder database, it can grow to be a monster. On the other hand, it could be something else filling up your file system. You want to figure that out first.
Agreed that it’s not the database. That’s good; you’ve eliminated one possibility.
The log files seem kind of large compared to mine. Your home-assistant.log is 1.8M, and the home-assistant.log.1 is 362M. I think that the .1 is the previous log. For comparison, my .1 is 320K, and was created three days since the prior restart. I just restarted a few minutes ago so the active log file is only 7K.
When you open the log files, does anything jump out at you as excessive?
