I utilize podman on my server for running my software.
Recently, I saw that my server ran out of space on its 8TB raid 10 array. Which immediately raised questions for me.
After using “duc” to analyze my drive. I found that podman had used 4 TB of storage space in “/var/tmp”.
Anyone else have this happen to them?
Wait…wha?
What prompted you to reinstall your ENTIRE OS? That should almost never be necessary under any circumstances.
I’m still on-boarding to Linux, and I was on bazzite but a bunch of settings were messed up.
I migrated from docker to podman and for some reason half my flatpaks broke. Then my podman caches were insane, so my disk was filling up. And I had so e messed up settings, like sleep wasn’t working properly and would just show a black screen on resume.
OHHH…you didn’t get an actual on screen prompt, you just decided to reinstall. My bad.
Yes, I just wasn’t happy with the state of my machine. It felt like there were too many parts I didn’t understand, so I wanted to clear it all out and simplify systems.
