CLOSED: HDA shows ample free space, but doesn't accept files anymore.

[Pratyay67]

It's been a while since I set up my Amahi HDA, and it was running fine, until now. I hardly moved files in my hda shares, and maybe that's why the problem didn't show up.
Today, while I tried to move my entire movie collection to one of the shares, it repeatedly showed that 'I need an additional xxx GB of space to copy the files'. The majority of my hdd is empty, as I have moved barely nothing in it.
So I did a bit of research, came up with the term 'greyhole' and tried around with it a bit, to my disappointment.
Then I looked up my disk and partitions, and it showed this:

/dev/sda1 476 MB 371 MB 76.1 MB (18%) /boot
/dev/sda3 50 GB 264 MB 49.7 GB (100%) /
/dev/sda5 411 GB 411 GB 32.4 MB (1%) /home

The majority of the disk is still unused. What's the way around this? Please help.

/dev/sda3 50 GB 264 MB 49.7 GB (100%) /

Your root disk is full. You need to remove some files from that partition. Don't recommend until you get some files removed.

You can clean up a few areas, such as log files. Do the following:

Code: Select all

sudo su rm -rf *.gz

That removes archived log files, not the current ones.

Also ensure you don't have any large files in your /home directory.

If you are using Greyhole, please check that the attic is empty:

Code: Select all

sudo greyhole -a

Also your LZ (root partition by default) needs to be large enough to support file operations. If you don't understand how Greyhole works, it can get you into trouble.

Then what's up with the /home directory and its 411 GB of free space?

Based on another one of your discussions, I created a share in the /home directory, but I'm unable to access the share from other devices.

What version of Fedora/Amahi is your HDA?

We strongly advised against creating a large home partition for just this reason.

Based on another one of your discussions, I created a share in the /home directory, but I'm unable to access the share from other devices.

You may need to restart the File Server. Do this from the HDA Dashboard, Settings, Servers section.

Also, for continued support please provide the URL for:

Code: Select all

apaste --sysinfo

I will just reinstall amahi, now strictly abiding by your instructions.
One thing, out of curiosity; I had bought the DLNA plugin to access the server from my smart TV. Now if I reinstall Amahi, will the plugin be there, or do I have to buy it again?

Now if I reinstall Amahi, will the plugin be there, or do I have to buy it again?

Any app you purchase is yours for life as long as it's available for the current Amahi version. Obviously you will need to install it, but it's paid for now.
