I noticed the root drive of my home server (Debian) is at 99% capacity, which was odd to be because I don’t store anything on the root ssd. sudo df -h confirms that 99% of my 256gb drive is full. But sudo du -sh * all added up, only comes to about 30gb.

This is a pc that only runs docker containers and one virtual machine for home assistant. And yes I have restarted, Any ideas as to how to find the missing 200+ gigabytes?

EDIT: sudo ncdu allowed me to find a 72gb [long string of characterless]-json.log file in /var/lib/docker/containers and many 1gb+ files in /var/lib/docker/overlay2. I’m not sure what to do with this information (or what’s safe to delete) but I’m getting somewhere.

    mount outputted a lot of text. I suspect this may be getting somewhere but I’m not too experienced. There is a lot of overlay on /var/lib/docker/overlay2/[long string of numbers and letters]. I also see a lot (~25) of nsfs on /run/docker/netns/[string of letters and numbers] type nsfs (rw)

    lsblk game me my drives as expected, and fdisk gave fdisk: command not found.

      The point to show the output is to help us understand your system. Not to point directly at the issue. Like for mount this will show what partition is mount where.

      You system don’t have fdisk is installed.
