disk confused

[ApplegateR]

After my wife and I cleaning our video and photo and I notice size reduce and I do still not understand this how work external drive actually in primary but not separate.

Why 5Tb external drive in Primary Drive? Goal is trying making app use in external drive.

So I assume that your Nextcloud (https://hub.richardapplegate.io) is configured (Cloudron app config menu for Nextcloud under the Volumes tab) to use the mounted 5TB drive as source for its /data directory.

Can you rephrase your question please? I don't understand what you are actually trying to achieve or what the problem is in the first place.

@subven

okay on collected, it dont show my 5TB in my Primary SSD, now this time this new feature now think all data in primary but i do see 5TB data show great but why Primary need that data also?

[ApplegateR]

@ApplegateR what if primary show full even all data actually in my external drive instead primary... but primary had my T5 include that make me confused.

So if my ssd full because of External drive.. then I will had to format server and install new Server Hard Drive to increase enough...

[subven]

@ApplegateR this is because the 5TB drive is mounted into your primary disks (nvme0n1p2) filesystem under / (root).

If your 5TB drive (containing only your Nextcloud data) fills up, your main SSD won't be affected and your server willl work as it should....so do not worry.

@subven thank you so much you should work clouron support you really helping customer troubleshoot

[subven]

@ApplegateR I worked as sysadmin/inhouse support and like to voluntarily help. Cloudron forum fills the void because I dont do tech support anymore but like to participate

This could possibly be similar to https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7859/no-space-available-on-primary-mount-because-of-a-volume/8

To get this sorted out a bit faster, @ApplegateR do you want to open up remote SSH support for us so we can directly checkout what the deal is? If you do, please send us a mail to support@cloudron.io with your dashboard domain after enabling it https://docs.cloudron.io/support/#remote-support

@nebulon I emailed support last few day ago and staff have my permission to see.

so this should be fixed with the next release now, where we replaced https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sindresorhus/df with our own implementation which calls the df command in a more locale safe way.
