I've recently been struggling with disk space on one of my servers.

"df" is showing all my disk space is gone but "du" is not finding any files that would amount to filling up the disk.

Finally,, "lsof" reveals it is log files that has been rotated in a docker container but still are open (but marked deleted) 🤦‍♂️

I could restart the docker containers at a regular interval to release the deleted files...

But is there a better way to handle this?

Display disk usage in GB on Linux: use du -sh --block-size=1G . (GNU/Linux) or du -sg . (macOS/BSD). Simplest universal method: du -sh . auto-scales to GB. For scripts: set export BLOCKSIZE=1G. #Linux #CommandLine #DiskUsage

A disk on a VPS I rent recently exceeded 90% usage. As I was poking around to figure out what I could get rid of, I came across two log files that had never been set to rotate. Over the approximately 10 years the service generating these logs has been running, they've accumulated 40 million lines representing tens of gigabytes of data. I think I can get rid of most of that.

Related to several subjective performance checkpoints, my "upgrade" from the #Pixel4a (stock ROM) to the #Pixel8 (#GrapheneOS) was actually a downgrade.

E.g., anything that scans the internal storage (#DiskUsage app) is slower. Panning the map in #OsmAnd+ is *much* slower. Starting up #RocketChat app is taking ages in comparison.

I really wonder what has gone wrong here. 🤔

Video review on #benchmark of #Kali #Linux 2024.02 https://youtu.be/019eJJgc9js. Curious why someone would choose #KaliLinux to run #Xfce when the #performance is so poor compared to Alpine Linux with Xfce. Also the 13GB of #DiskUsage is one of the highest of any #OperatingSystem #benchmarked so far.
