FreeNas System Alert

[RemyZ]

The capacity for the volume 'freenas-boot' is currently at 80%, while the recommended value is below 80%

I am getting this system alert message when my Satadomm is 64gib in size.

Scrub BootStatus
Boot Volume Condition: HEALTHY
Size: 59.5 GiB
Used: 48.1 GiB (80%) <---Help me understand how is this possible

I have recently updated the boot drive but this message come up beforehand. I have also factory reset twice

 

[Jailer]

Delete some of your old unused boot environments.

 

[Mirfster]

Wow, if that is all boot environments then I would be pretty surprised.

Please post a screenie of your System > Boot tab window.

I'm with Mirfster, I gotta see 48Gbits of updates on a X11 board

Something is not right. You only have one boot environment. There has to be something else going on...

Mine has six (6) and still only has used 1.4 GiB:

 

[BigDave]

Come on man, you doctored that picture or somethin' right?

On a more serious note, you have something goin' on with that DOM sir,
that is just strange.

You're pullin' our forum leg, aren't ya?

 

[BigDave]

Hey, I think I know what this is. The flash chip is near it's block erase limit,
so FreeNAS is reading what it needs to run FreeNAS and it's filling up now.

Was this DOM purchased new OR used?

 

[RemyZ]

The dom was purchased new. I deleted the default and initial install in a panic rush and willing to start over since I dont have anything substantial on it at the moment.

 

[BigDave]

I'd fire up ssh and see what SMART lists as size/capacity for the DOM.
You won't be able to test it, but it should give basic info...

 

[RemyZ]

at this point what is the best way to start over from scractch as in
Reformat the Satadomm
Reinstall Freenas ?

 

[Mirfster]

If you want to you could. Just backup your config, install and apply the config.

 

[RemyZ]

what is the best way to format the satadomm ???

 

[m0nkey_]

Daft question, but you're not storing the system dataset on the SATADOM? http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_system.html#system-dataset

If you are, you might want to move it to one of your other pools.

 

[RemyZ]

No, I dont believe so.

 

[RemyZ]

Should I just delete Datasets then reformat the Satadomm and reinstall OS ?

 

[BigDave]

IMHO you need to address the SATA DOM issue before going forward.
Did you try looking at the smart data as I suggested?
