I believe I’m having issues with the cache. It was working for a long time but I have since relocated the mirror and it no longer boots the MM program. when I run npm start i get “no helper found for module” and when I try to update my MM program I get “you dont have enough space var/cache/apt/archives”. Any help would be appreciated as it ran quite well a while ago. Do the modules build up data after being run 24/7? I’m also not entirely sure what a cache is if anybody could help. Thanks.</p>

<p dir="auto">but I don’t see anything else really large taking a lot of space…  MagicMirror is only taking about 10%<br />

Will this continue to happen over time? Or should i just buy a 16gig SD and it will likely solve the issue?</p>

<p dir="auto">the du command dumps out blocks used, and does it by folder.</p>
<p dir="auto">in the last screenshot, there are 13040 blocks used for the entire /var/log subtree<br />
there are 6846289 blocks of space on the memory card disk volume…  so, divide</p>
<p dir="auto">(13040*100) by 6846289 to get the percentage used = 0.19046815%</p>
<p dir="auto">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)</p>

<p dir="auto">no helper for module is ok, if the module doesn’t have helper… but u may be out of space</p>
<p dir="auto">review /var/log for dusplicates of log files</p>
<p dir="auto">syslog.n (these are old, probably ok to delete)<br />
and syslog</p>
<p dir="auto">etc</p>
<p dir="auto">this might give u an idea where space is used</p>

<p dir="auto">note that this starts at the root…  I have a remote volume attached so it searches that too… ugh<br />
