To less disk space for update

UCS - Univention Corporate Server
#1

Hi,
during update I got the follwoing error message:

Checking for space on /var/cache/apt/archives:
failed ERROR: Not enough space in /var/cache/apt/archives, need at least 4000 MB. This may interrupt the update and result in an inconsistent system! If necessary you can skip this check by setting the value of the config registry variable update43/checkfilesystems to "no". But be aware that this is not recommended!

The disk size on the system looks like this. The system runs on vmware and has a disk size of 100GB. I’m wondering about only the half disk size usable for / und a big size for docker/overlay. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to expand the filesystem or can I clean up the docker/overlay area?

Moin,

the overlay device mounted on /var/lib/docker/overlay/... is actually /dev/dm-0, i.e., the root filesystem /. From the partitioning I’d guess, the system was created with a 50G disk and the missing 4.5G are swap.

What is the output of the following commands?

# pvs
# lvs
# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Hi bytemine,

here comes the output:

Moin,

this line shows, that the disk (at least as seen from the virtual machine) still has a size of 50G, not 100G.

Hi,
here is the screenshot of the machin setting in vmware…

How can I solve the problem? Bigger hard Disk in vmware and expand the volume?

I guess there is some miscalculation in place.
Update checker talks about 4000MB. On your / you have 33GB free. So it should fit.
Just to make sure there is no other issue: please rescan your devices with “rescan-scsi.bus.sh” or either reboot your virtual machine to have the full100GB in your virtual machine.

Once done, check again with “df -h” AND “df -i”

Sorry for my delay. Meanwhile I’m in my easter holidays:grinning:.
This evening I solved my problem by the assistance of the following support article: Resize LVM on UCS
After entering the command lsblk I saw that there is indeed a 100G disk and I had to extend the lvm group.

root@owncloud-01:/usr/bin# lsblk
