Reduced space on boot partition.

[OmarNoah]

Good afternoon, I have this problem with my brake service, all the documentation tells me how to extend dataset's, but I cannot find information on how to expand this partition on time, the system boot partition, I do not know how to extend it, and I am quite concerned because the performance is affected too much.

I will be eternally grateful if you could help me.

Thank's

If you go to the System | Boot settings, delete some of the older boot environments you have.

 

[OmarNoah]

That's the weirdest thing, I don't have any more old installations, I don't know what to do: /

OK, so it looks to me like you're storing files on your boot pool... this is not good.

You need to find where they are and find somewhere else to put them.

 

[sretalla]

You might like to use du -sh /usr (as an example) to find the size of each of the directories in the root of your install, then dig in with each path to get to the big volume of data.

People would usually use /root as one of the locations that catch files by accident.

ejecuta el comando y esto es lo que aparece

E ingrese esa carpeta y eso me parece, pero bueno, me preocupa eliminar algo allí y que el sistema falle.

¿Qué puedo hacer?

 

[sretalla]

/usr was just one example.

Seems it was only 656 MB, so probably not the issue.

Try /root or other directories in / to see which one has more than 10GB in it.

Hola, encontré el problema, la carpeta / home está almacenando este tipo de datos, que entiendo corresponde a los permisos asignados a algunos usuarios.

But how can I move them from there, how can I not generate them there if not on another partition, and if I can't, how can I expand that unit, the root \, so that it has more space.

Thanks for reading seriously, I am too concerned with this topic.

Copy.

Please don't post images of what you're seeing--text copy/paste is much easier to read. But you've got 16 GB in your /home directory, which is on your boot device. That's bad; your user home directories should be somewhere on your pool. In the short term, you can move the files using the mv command, or if you aren't comfortable with the Unix command line, you can use mc instead. But that's what you need to do: (1) move the contents of /home to somewhere under /mnt/poolname, and (2) make sure the home directories of your users aren't at /home.

 

[OmarNoah]

well, I will attend to your suggestion about the images.

I thought about moving that directory, but precisely, I don't want to leave someone without access, how could I validate that the home directories of the users aren't at /home.?

 

[sretalla]

how could I validate that the home directories of the users aren't at /home.?

cd /home
ls -l

Have a look at what's there.

 

[OmarNoah]

cd /home
ls -l

Have a look at what's there.

I understand you, and yes, in that location are the logins, but my specific question is, how do I make sure that the logons are no longer stored in the / home folder. If it's a freenass configuration issue, or AD.

 

[sretalla]

In the GUI, under Accounts | Users... then edit the user to see the home directory location. Change it there if necessary.

 

[OmarNoah]

But the logins I see correspond to the users of the active directory, not the accounts created from the Freenass GUI

sorry i made a mistake with my browser i am working on it.

Do you see a home directory defined when you edit those users?

Are you sharing the /home directory? (need to edit that share to change locations)

 

[OmarNoah]

yo see this

und other like this.

/ var / empty
/ var / tmp / cónsul

but anything with the home directory /home

 

[sretalla]

I can't see anything there that tells me that those users will be using anything from /home.

I can't explain why there's anything in /home at all as I don't know how your users are connecting to and using your FreeNAS server.

Maybe the best option is just to move the data out and keep it in a safe place in case somebody needs it back, then monitor to see if anything else is saved there... check with whichever user saves data there how they are doing that.
