Insufficient System Disk Space

Note: Files deleted with the rm command cannot be recovered. Please operate with caution.

How to Check System Disk Usage​

First, you need to find out which directory is occupying the system disk space. If you are not sure what the system disk is, please refer to the platform help documentation.

You can use the following command to check the usage of the system and data disks:

source ~/.bashrc

The following two directories can be deleted directly without affecting system operation. It is recommended to clean them first:

du -sh /opt/miniconda3/pkgs/ && rm -rf /root/miniconda3/pkgs/*      # Conda package cache
 du -sh /root/.local/share/Trash && rm -rf /root/.local/share/Trash   # JupyterLab recycle bin

If not enough space is freed, check the following directories:

du -sh /tmp/         # Check /tmp space usage
du -sh /root/.cache  # Check /root/.cache space usage

Normal Cleanup Steps​

  1. Check the space usage of files and directories. Files in the system/root directory usually do not take up much space. Focus on directories or large files you created.

Check File Size​

Use the ls -alh command to check file sizes. Note that the size shown for a folder is only the folder itself, not its contents.

Check Folder Size​

Use du -sh foldername to recursively count the total size of all files in the folder.

Delete Files/Folders​

Use rm -rf path to delete unnecessary files or folders and free up space.

Special Directories That Do Not Occupy System Disk Space​

The following directories are data disks or shared disks on the aifare platform and do not occupy system disk space:

  • /ai-models
  • /ai-datasets
  • /user-data

Data Disk Cleanup​

After entering the data disk directory, repeat the above cleanup steps:

cd /data

The most common reason for data disk space usage is an uncleared trash bin. Check the /data/.Trash-0 folder. After confirming it is not needed, use rm to delete it.

Full Cleanup (Data Cannot Be Recovered)​

  • Data Disk: Run rm -rf /data/* to delete all files on the data disk (note: hidden files .xxx cannot be deleted this way).
