31.8 gb encstateful partition #1939

i am running out of space and i thought that was odd since i have a 128 gb ssd so i deleted a few things so that i could use my computer without it crashing. i ran lsblk to check my partitons and this is what i found chronos@localhost / $ lsblk lsblk: dm-0: failed to get device path lsblk: dm-0: failed to get device path NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 111.8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 107.7G 0 part /mnt/stateful_partition ├─sda2 8:2 0 16M 0 part ├─sda3 8:3 0 2G 0 part ├─sda4 8:4 0 16M 0 part ├─sda5 8:5 0 2G 0 part ├─sda6 8:6 0 512B 0 part ├─sda7 8:7 0 512B 0 part ├─sda8 8:8 0 16M 0 part /usr/share/oem ├─sda9 8:9 0 512B 0 part ├─sda10 8:10 0 512B 0 part ├─sda11 8:11 0 8M 0 part └─sda12 8:12 0 16M 0 part loop0 7:0 0 31.8G 0 loop └─encstateful 254:1 0 31.8G 0 dm /mnt/stateful_partition/encrypted zram0 253:0 0 5.7G 0 disk [SWAP] chronos@localhost / $

@giliammc,

Try running: df -h | grep -e /sda -e Avail That should show you what's 'Used' and 'Avail' to help you narrow down where the problem might be.

I have a 128gb ssd on my HP Chromebook 14 (Falco) and here's what mine shows -

@giliammc - Somehow you're using 94gb of your 106gb stateful_partition but you still have 7.2gb left. It could be you have one or more very large chroots installed. Try running: sudo du -cmhsx /usr/local/* and see what you get.

giliammc commented 9 years ago

to my knowledge on this computer i only have one chroot

DennisLfromGA commented 9 years ago

@giliammc - You're also using 31.8gb as opposed to my 2.9gb in /mnt/stateful_partition/encrypted/ for some reason. You may have some large file(s) in ~/Downloads perhaps???

Just for kicks, try running - sudo du -cmhsx /mnt/stateful_partition/encrypted/chronos/* | sort -h and sudo du -cmhsx $HOME/* | sort -h and show what you get.

TIP: enclose your output with three ticks ``` before and after to make it more readable - like:

@giliammc,

That's where most of your space is being eaten up. Now enter: sudo du -cmhsx ~/Downolads/* | sort -h and let us drill down a little.


the three ticks didnt work

They work if they're on a line by themselves starting in column one, both before and after you're output. Check out 'GitHub Flavored Markdown' and in particular 'Fenced code blocks'.

@giliammc,

You need to log in using your Google account credentials first in order to make ~/Downloads available.

giliammc commented 9 years ago

how do you do that

DennisLfromGA commented 9 years ago

Have you setup a user account on your Chromebook and logged in as someone other than 'guest'? If not, I suggest you do that so that you become the 'owner' and have some control over who uses it.

Once you login with your Google account, you can gain access to your own ~/Downloads folder and configure/customize your Chromebook to your liking. You can then also use Ctrl+Alt+t to get a crosh shell and install crouton, etc.

giliammc commented 9 years ago

I am logged in to my account

Could we see the command you're executing please? It looks like you're using single-quotes -> ' <- surrounding the path, that's a no-no. You can, however use double-quotes -> " <- but that's for another lesson...

Again, just enter: sudo du -cmhsx ~/Downolads/* | sort -h ( the stuff after the colon above is what you need )

I would move the trusty backup to external media.

63G /home/chronos/user/Downloads/sda1

I don't know what the 63G 'sda1' is, possibly you 'dd'ed the partition to a file or it's a directory that contains what you may have deemed necessary to save? At any rate, that's where most of your space is being consumed.

giliammc commented 9 years ago

that still doesn't account for 31.8gb

DennisLfromGA commented 9 years ago

@giliammc - If I had your Chromebook, I could probably find it, but I don't; I suppose you'll have to look for. If it were me, I'd use the df and du commands and try to narrow down where the space is being used.

giliammc commented 9 years ago

ok what does the encstateful partition do

DennisLfromGA commented 9 years ago

ok what does the encstateful partition do

It's an encrypted, loop mounted stateful partition that only the current user has access to - I'm guessing. I don't pretend to know how Google does it's thing with Chromebooks but that seems to make the most sense to me.

I'm sure there are others here that could explain it a whole lot better...

giliammc commented 9 years ago

if i restart the computer and login as guest i still have a 31.8gb encstateful partition

DennisLfromGA commented 9 years ago

@giliammc - If you don't know how or where your disk space is disappearing to and can't find out, I would suggest backing up the files you need in ~/Downloads ( did I spell it right ;), to include your trusty backup, and doing a usb restore.

giliammc commented 9 years ago

ok i was trying to ovoid that. but i guess that is the only option

DennisLfromGA commented 9 years ago

Well, it's not the only option, I probably should have recommended you do a 'powerwash' first, after backing up your important files first of course. Then, if that doesn't free up the space, do a usb restore as a last resort.

giliammc commented 9 years ago

ok

It's actually 'sda1' and I referred to it here https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/1939#issuecomment-122390945.

google lost my backup file

@giliammc - It might give us a clearer picture of exactly what's on your Chromebook, and only your Chromebook, if you'd unplug all of your external media before running 'lsblk`.

I'm really curious though, exactly what model of Chromebook do you have?


i restored from usb and it is still there

loop0           7:0    0  31.8G  0 loop 
└─encstateful 254:1    0  31.8G  0 dm   /mnt/stateful_partition/encrypted

Does anyone know why @giliammc has a 31.8G encstateful partition, apparently after doing a usb restore?

Mine is only 2.9G -

loop0     7:0    0   2.9G  0 loop 
└─encstateful
        254:1    0   2.9G  0 dm   /mnt/stateful_partition/encrypted

I googled encstateful partition and found this thread...

https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/403

I am wondering if this is due to some prior experimentation with chrubuntu on this machine as was apparently the case in that thread.

That's possible but your ChrUbuntu partition (sda7) is minimal so I don't think so.

I've just come to the conclusion that, due to the extremely large size of your stateful_partition (sda1), it's creating a very large proportionate loop mounted encstateful partition when you log in, I don't think it'll hurt anything though. You took care of most of the problem, your 75G ~/Downloads, when you did the powerwash.

I'm afraid that's the best I can come up with, maybe some others will have a more definite idea.

@giliammc - I see no problem whatsoever with that output, everything looks perfectly normal to me, except for the fact that you have a ginormous stateful_partition.

Do you still think that something is awry or are you now satisfied with the numbers?

If satisfied, please close this issue. If not satisfied, you'll have to wait for others to weigh in...

Thanx, -DennisL

P.S. I like my setup -

It gives me an option to boot Linux Mint 17.1 via Ctrl-l and it saves my crouton chroots and other things I've stored on a separate and safe CROUTON partiton - pretty slick I think.

@giliammc : You could try doing an fstrim: fstrim /mnt/stateful_partition/encrypted, that may shrink the encrypted part of the stateful partition.

I'd also like to see the full output of df -h
