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.

    Did du give any permission errors? It can’t count the size of directories that it doesn’t have permission to access.

      It did yes, a few “invalid argument” a few “permission denied” and a few “no such file or directory”
