Netgate 4100 Out of Disk

[jcbeckman]

All my partitions are out of disk (100% used) and the system is only accessible via the serial port. I have seen a few articles that say "remove snapshots" or "remove files on disk" but they all assume I know HOW to do that from the command line. Can someone please give detailed instructions on what's safe to remove and how to remove it from the shell?

If you're running ZFS and have upgraded a few times you might have a number of zfs BEs.

At the console you can use bectl at the command line like:

 [23.05.1-RELEASE][admin@6100.stevew.lan]/root: bectl list
BE                          Active Mountpoint Space Created
auto-default-20230626182737 -      -          361M  2023-06-26 18:27
auto-default-20230629155043 -      -          714M  2023-06-29 15:50
default                     NR     /          2.87G 2023-06-23 22:59

Then remove BEs like:

[23.05.1-RELEASE][admin@6100.stevew.lan]/root: bectl destroy auto-default-20230629155043
[23.05.1-RELEASE][admin@6100.stevew.lan]/root: bectl list
BE                          Active Mountpoint Space Created
auto-default-20230626182737 -      -          362M  2023-06-26 18:27
default                     NR     /          1.97G 2023-06-23 22:59

@stephenw10 THANK YOU! I am back up. I had 3 backups, removed 2 of them. Now I need to clean up the logs at 75%, but at least I have a running system.
