@jlrobinson2171 Delete some of those, for instance the 2022 and 2023 ones.
bectl destroy default_20240426094800
or auto-default-20230628094454, etc.
If it isn't a 2100 max then it's only an 8 GB disk.

Yup I would delete those first two BEs and then reboot.
The 2022 BE is the one marked for next boot though so I would not delete that.
If it still fails you can try activating the most recent BE (2024-04-07). That is probably the one created at the last upgrade/attempt.

@SteveITS and @stephenw10
Thank you for your assistance. After removing just one, I was able to reboot and log back in.

Found this through Google after I ran into the same issue with my SG-2100. Managed to resolve by following the instructions here, thanks!
Maybe the installer should do a check for sufficient space before continuing and when necessary provide an option to cleanup old instances to prevent this happening in the future?

@SteveITS Thank you very much for the response. You rescued us.

4100 - Upgraded from 24.03 to 24.11 - whole network died, really fascinating how there's no automatic check to see if there's fucking free space before committing to an update/reboot??

Were you running ZFS? If drive space was exhausted it would usually just fail to complete the update before the reboot. But in some edge case it would fail to complete the boot check and just roll back to the last good BE.
