Strange/wrong "used storage" number

H4bub · June 19, 2025, 12:54pm

Hi All,
I have a strange issue with the used storage information.
Got an error that the storage is used 95%+

The thing is, that within the proxmox VM, Home Assistant shows only 1.8GB used via SSH.
There are no backups stored in Home Assistant OS nor is there any media or video data.
Backups of the Home Assistant instance are 1.7GB in size.

I am stuck here.
Does anyone have an idea where this could come from?

You are seeing what is in the SSH container.
Use the proxmox HA console (login, no password) and check from there.

Thank you for your reply! I wasn’t aware about that. I am looking into that. Have to figure out how to login correctly. Currently I have only a limited “ha” set of commands in the VM console. I will report back, when I was able to resolve it

Just enter

login

and you have the Linux prompt

Thank you once again, @francisp

There is lots of addon data in whisper and ESPhome.

thanks for supporting me in this case!!
