    I am using a Debian VM on my Synology NAS for some applications, and one of them is Youtube-dl, so I can easily download youtube video's. Almost all commands have stopped working on the VM, with the following error:
    Code:
    Error writing to output file - write (28: No space left on device) Error writing to file - write (28: No space left on device)
    df -h shows this:
    Code:
    root@srv:/home/user# df -h

    tmpfs                201M     0  201M   0% /run/user/1000
    But the disk isn't full. As you can see, /mnt/video is a mount for a external SMB drive. The total download data through this VM is more than 400 GB. I'm sure it is on the NAS (under /video).

    How can I make Debian calculate the storage correctly?

    What shows
    Code:
    df -hi
    I notice /dev/sda2 is full. Is that involved in the download?

    But the root partition / is full on /dev/sda2. Try freeing space there, that may fix the issue. All Unix and Linux systems start failing when root partition runs out of disk space.
    On Debian,
    • check if you have several old kernels installed, they consume 200 MB each, for example with dpkg --list | grep linux-image | grep ^ii
    • apt clean removes downloaded packages from /var/cache
    • apt autoremove To remove automatically installed packages that are no longer used

    That did not help. There are 2 old kernels, but that should not fill it. I suspect that a part of the downloaded video's is in /dev/sda2/mnt/video and a part in the mount //IPAD/video. But when I ls /mnt/video, I see the contents of the external volume and not what's on /dev/sda2 ofcourse.

    Unmount /mnt/video and see if some video files were hiding under the mount.

    Good idea, I oversaw that simple option.

    Fixed :D Now moving everything away to the external drive. Thanks.
