I know that you have other posts on this, but couldn't find info that could help me fix issue, using Adata ssd, the dataset pool is going to my backup.

I really appreciate any for any help, new with unix so I do apologize about for that.

Thanks

Either remove the snapshots taking up most of your space (unsure why you use so much, my present home server is 7 versions old and uses less than 8 GB) or install to a new boot drive and reload your config.

 

[BigDave]

First you need to save a copy of your configuration file to another machine.
Next you just need to delete some older boot environments you no longer need.
See section 5.3 of the manual for steps on deleting older boot environments from
your boot drive.

This a pic in the GUI erased environments

I don’t understand why you use so much space. Do you have FTP or something else like it running?

 

[Spiderham]

I have no snapshots either only went down a precent.

 

[Spiderham]

Yes, I have a FTP, running back up for my windows with syncback.

 

[Spiderham]

But, that's backing up to the backup drive this is my boot drive.

The dataset pool is going to my backups.

Well I would say reinstall FreeNAS and reload your config. But without knowing what you did to grow the boot to that size it’s likely you will find yourself in the same situation again.

Can you SSH into the box?

 

[Spiderham]

That's what I was thinking.

 

[garm]

Well to walk through the diskusage you can run

Code:

 df -H

I saw a post exactly like this a couple of days before Christmas. Calling @danb35

Well to walk through the diskusage you can run

Code:

 df -H

Or the following command, run as root: du -d 1 -x /

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=du&manpath=FreeBSD+11.1-RELEASE+and+Ports

du -- display disk usage statistics

-d depth
-x File system mount points are not traversed

Indeed. And that's far from the only one. But apparently @Spiderham doesn't think the info there could help him fix his issue.

 

[danb35]

Or the following command, run as root: du -d 1 -x /

That will work; I prefer du -shx /*.

Will uncle fester's basic config guide work with 11.1?
