SD memory card is slowly filling up
-
Hello everybody,
can someone help me?
My MagicMirror runs for almost a year without errors, but slowly the SD memory card (32GB) is filling up by itself?
After my MagicMirror installation I had about 24GB of free space. And now I only have 6.1GB free (see picture).
What do I have to do to get burst again?
thank you
-
@drx1984 there are utilities which can tell u space used
see the first command described here
https://www.tecmint.com/find-top-large-directories-and-files-sizes-in-linux/amp/ -
it looks like this
-
@drx1984 clear the logs. pm2 flush
altho I might want to find out what all that is.u can dump a little
pm2 logs --lines=???
???= some number, default is 15u can also.look at them in the ~/.pm2/logs
folder -
how do I do that? (I’m a beginner sry)
can I turn off the log?
how do i get to the pm2 folder? that should be in the “root” folder right? somehow I have no notice. -
@sdetweil
I was able to do something and I found this post:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/917/pm2-logs/7
I then entered the command “pm2 flush” and I already have 21GB of free space again, that looks very good.
could I automate something like that? or deactivate the pm2 log? -
@drx1984 I gave u the pm2 flush command
if u install winscp on your pc box, and enable ssh on your pi, you can get a file manager.over the pi files from your pc
then just double click to edit like u do on the pc. right click to rename/deleteI would have looked at the log to find out what modules are generating all that content.
far as I know there is no way to turn off the log.
maybe
pm2 help
would some some options -
also file location
~
means users home folder
so when logged on as pi, that means
/home/piso from my post
~/.pm2/logs means
/home/pi/.pm2/logsu can get there over ssh, or using a terminal window on the pi, or a file manager on the pi, just like u do on widows

yes I had already installed the program WinSCP, but I don’t see this folder pm2 ??? ( see image)Yes that would be interesting which modules cause these logs. next time I won’t just delete it.

I saw that there is a tool for deleting the pm2 log, do you know it: https://github.com/keymetrics/pm2-logrotate
