Environment

Aria Automation 8.x

Cause

Non-standard files left on the root partition, / of Aria Automation are causing the disk to overfill during upgrade.

 

Resolution

These commands may help in identifying which non-standard files are filling up the disk.

1. Which are the biggest files on disk:
   find / -xdev -size +100M -exec du -sh '{}' \; | sort -rh
2. Where is space consumed under the root directory?
   du -hax -d1 / | sort -rh

Please store any files you need for Automation on another partition than root, and remove when no longer needed.
