Im running ISPConfig with Multiserver setup NGINX Ubuntu 18.0.4.6 (EOL) Hello HTF friends, I've been trying to update one of my servers (mail) but regardless of what i do, this one keeps failing due to an error "no space left on disk" while i have over 25GB free. Have been fighting the issue for weeks and reading up on all the posts. It's solely a mail server. Still not 100% sure if the migration toolkit can achieve this. I need to reset my mail server. Is there anyway to backup my Ispconfig server, re-install the server with 20.04 and then restore the backup and run the Isponfig updater? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
It's the actual error it gives. "out of disk space". I monitored the install by having two sessions running. The drive goes from 25GB free, 22GB free, 21GB, 16Gb....and so on until it reaches 0GB free right around the end. Also, when running it with one session, when it stops and i exit and do a disk check and it's 0GB free. I was also able to track down a few of the files during install, just some large temp/install files. Didn't see anything strange.
What are you doing when this error appears? You do not say what you are updating. Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04? ISPConfig? Something else? What shows command Code: df -hT Migration tool can migrate your current setup to a new ISPConfig setup, but you would need those extra hosts during the migration. ISPConfig copy tool could copy your existing mail server to similar mail server, but that would need to have same version of OS, so you would still be stuck in Ubuntu 18.04. If something is messed up in your current host, this might help, though. Please do https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/ and post the common issues report.
Hello , Yes, this happens when going from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04. When i run df -hT it shows the main disk /dev/vda1 as 0% available during the last few installs of the release-upgrade.
Can you copy and paste the command and output? Can you reveal how you are doing the update of Ubuntu?
Code: udev devtmpfs 964M 0 964M 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 200M 772K 199M 1% /run /dev/vda1 ext4 78G 54G 24G 69% / tmpfs tmpfs 997M 0 997M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs tmpfs 997M 0 997M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs tmpfs 200M 0 200M 0% /run/user/0 The update is done via sudo do-release-upgrade Is there another way? Similar to a safe-mode or anything else?
You forgot to post the common issues report. I do Ubuntu release upgrades from console, first apt update ; apt full-upgade and then the do-release-upgrade. Is this host a server installation? It is strange the update would use up 24 GB space. Are there extra packages installed, like a desktop environment and large packages? Have you checked disk is not faulty? With for example smartmontools, Code: smartctl -a /dev/vda1 To troubleshoot, do the release-upgrade from console, capturing the output to a file. Then see that file to examine what is happening and what uses up the disk space. The debian release notes has info on how to do this: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#record-session
