I´m running Duplicat together with OpenMediaVault on Rasperry Pi 3. Everything is upgraded and updated to the latest version.
The originating disk is a usbdrive with 1 Tb space and the destination is Onedrive with 1 Tb space.
When I try to run a backupjob consisting of about 70 Gb this message pops up after a little while:
Disk full. Path /tmp/dup-520950f3-b029-4621-8315-85c86f3ac377.
Does this mean that Duplicati is trying to put something on the flashmemory?
If I run a smaller backupjob for 500 mb it works fine.
I have not used a setup anything like that, so must guess, but does “flashmemory” refer to /tmp directory? Sometimes Linux systems use tmpfs (RAM) or other special partitionings. What does df /tmp say it’s on?
Whether it’s RAM or a small partition, the message seems to be saying that it filled up. This can happen if production of files goes faster than upload can move them to the destination. –asynchronous-upload-limit provides a way to limit the upload queue. Also be careful not to use a huge –dblock-size if space is limited.
Duplicati is also known to sometimes leave files behind in the /tmp area. You could check for leftover dup*.
Hello
Thank you for your speedy reply. I decreased the number of volumes to 2 instead of 4. It didn´t work. Same message “Disk is full etc” A few seconds after this I get another message: “Connection to server is lost! Trying to connect.” That has happened a couple of times before.
How can I check my drives for directorys and files. I tried ls and dir etc at the command line but it doesn´t work. I´m a newbie at Linux so I´m thankful for all the help I can get.
If your system has man pages, you can say man df to learn df. If not, your df might work like this or this.
Once you find which area ran out of space, ls and du would be good but basic tools to see what took it.
“Connection to server is lost” can be reported by the Duplicati web UI if it thinks Duplicati has gone away. Running something like ps -eF | grep Duplicati could confirm/deny it. It’s likely being run by mono. Does this Duplicati run in a graphics environment? If so, you might also see its system tray icon go away. What do you have to do to recover from it? Duplicati’s web browser code will automatically keep retrying, however that won’t get anywhere if the server crashed (maybe from space exhaustion) and stayed down.
It seems that I have run out of space. What I can understand the tmp directory is located on the flashdrive and is limited to 500 mb. Is there any way to move it to the usb-disk (LaCie)?
Thanks for all your help.
