A lot of disk usage.

Why does the system and panel Enhance weigh as much as 45GB?

Adam

It doesn't, there must be something else installed on your server. If you are doing a du on the overlayfs directories /var/local/enhance/containers and /var/lib/docker/overlay2, this will count the usage multiple times.

https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/overlayfs.html

If df shows 45GB usage then something besides Enhance must be installed on the system.

DracoBlue

This is a fresh installation. the weight of the ubuntu system was 6GB

Can you please run:

df -h

du --max-depth=2 --exclude=/var/local/enhance/containers --exclude=/var/lib/docker/overlay2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=sys /

And either post the output here or send in a support ticket?

Adam DracoBlue I see the same, It was a fresh intallation with just a blang website with 100MB.

The df output only shows 18GB used so I don't know why you're seeing 47GB in the UI. This usually happens if the root partition is mounted twice, with a bind mount or similar.

Is that all of the df output? If so, can you send a support ticket please? We might ask for access to your server.

Adam

We resolved this for @DracoBlue. It looks like the way we measure disk space for rendering in the UI takes into account filesystem reserved blocks (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ext4). We calculate the total space less the available space and display that as the usage. If you are running ext4 and you have a large filesystem, the default reserved blocks are 5% of your total file system size which is why the usage appears so high.

This space isn't used by Enhance. You can verify this with du or dh. You can adjust the reserved blocks with tune2fs but I wouldn't recommend this unless you fully understand the implication.

We will improve the disk usage display. We may be able to display reserved blocks as a separate value.

This pretty much explains why all three servers in my cluster showed such high usage of storage, even when first set up. Thanks for the explanation.
