A few days ago my system ran out of space (according to df and numerous alarming popups about no free space and closing app after app). Rebooted (a troublingly long process), still had problems, then found the Q&A here. According to system information there was nearly 100GB free, but df said nearly zero. Manually trimmed the snapshots and voila, it worked. Bottom line: watch your free space because you just never know here. | |
