[RESOLVED] Root Partition Full - Can't find reason why is that

bad63r · 2024-12-12 12:19:33

Hi all,

so I am new to Arch Linux. Running it for couple of weeks. All seemed fine until recently where I have noticed that my root partition is full(120 GiB / 130 GiB).

At first I thought that it could have something to do with docker( I have moved default location of containers from /var/lib/docker to /home/bad63r/Applications as described on Arch Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Docker#Images_location). I have deleted docker just to confirm that I am not doing something wrong, or that I might miss read something with command

 sudo pacman -Rns docker

but nothing changed. Root is still full.

This seems strange to me:

 sudo du -h -d 1
[sudo] password for bad63r: 
0       ./sys
8.3G    ./home
du: cannot access './proc/2920/task/2920/fd/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access './proc/2920/task/2920/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory
du: cannot access './proc/2920/fd/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access './proc/2920/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory

119M    ./var
du: cannot access './run/user/1000/doc': Permission denied
1.9M    ./run
108G    ./~
44K     ./opt
8.1M    ./etc
12K     ./srv
0       ./dev
6.3G    ./usr
4.0K    ./tmp
16K     ./lost+found
123G    .

Notice that 108G is from '~' which leads to my /home/bad63r home directory. But when

du -hs /home/bad63r/
8.3G    /home/bad63r/

it shows me only around 8G of storage that is used.
My journalctl -b: https://pastebin.com/xtVbWNCv Nothing unusual here I think.

I have plasma-meta and couple of other kde apps installed. Might it be that I did something wrong during partition part during installation?

Any advice is highly appreciated,

ls -alFh /
cat /etc/docker/daemon.json

there seems to be an actual folder named "~" at / using up 100gb
wild guess: there's some script contain "~" instead of $HOME which causes this folder and its clutter
do you remember have something along this when you moved docker from /var to /home?
lije:

"data-root": "/~"

Yes, that was it. Instead of "full absolute path" I did "~/... " Thank you. This is solved
