Magic Mirror will not boot but Pi will, Cache issue?

@tkaauf32 so, all the space is used IN the /var/log folder itself, not subfolders…

but 13040 is a tiny 0.1% WAY below the critical threshold… (if u are over 80% used, you are in trouble)

I don’t know what that means haha

the du command dumps out blocks used, and does it by folder.

in the last screenshot, there are 13040 blocks used for the entire /var/log subtree
there are 6846289 blocks of space on the memory card disk volume… so, divide

(13040*100) by 6846289 to get the percentage used = 0.19046815%

in system design, if u ever got over 80% used of the total capacity (memory, cpu, disk space), the system is in danger of failure ‘soon’… (I am a long time (45 yrs) computer system solution designer)

@sdetweil I’m just curious how you think it went over 80% total capacity? Will this continue to happen over time? Or should i just buy a 16gig SD and it will likely solve the issue?

@tkaauf32 the bigger disk will help…

the Wolfram stuff is eating a lot of space.,

but I don’t see anything else really large taking a lot of space… MagicMirror is only taking about 10%
home folder is under 15%
