system stopped booting, cant write files, "No space left on device", even though I have ~40GB free

rebased from ublue kinoite to bazzite gnome, everything worked fine for a while, then flatpak stopped working, couldn't update because of no space left on device, even though I had around 40GB free, rebooted and I got stuck in the fedora loading screen (pictured, the loading loop icon eventually disappears and interestingly it had the fedora logo and not the new bazzite one i had seen the previous reboot) rebooted to my other boot slot that still had kinoite and i could make it into a tty, but sddm is not launching and i cant write any files (picture 2), my gf said she's seen this before and it's a panic state btrfs enters in when corrupt, is this true and is it something i can recover from without a reinstall

i never saw something like this before... This is something SteamOS would do but not libostree systems

yeah i have absolutely no clue what happened i suppose i should just reinstall lol you know something has gone deeply wrong when the main developer goes what the fuck btrfsck didnt find any errors so i guess its not a filesystem corruption at least

okay, didn't even get to running our first-boot scripts I have no idea what this is, try deleting the bazzite deployment in ostree and rebasing again

Kyle Gospo
Kyle Gospo2y ago
just pin your good deployment and then run another rebase in the terminal

This is similar to what happened to me that time I broke a Kinoite install by doing nothing I booted my PC one day and got a notification that I was out of space, it'd then freeze in SDDM or shortly after

I believe that I am having this issue, too. Here is how I wrote up my description before seeing the above: Hello, community. I'm having problems with my Bazzite desktop, and I would really appreciate some help. I have apps that fail to run, and then the OS has trouble booting. I believe the problem is that the filesystem that rpm-ostree uses is full. The ujust command to update or clean the system fails with "error: No space left on device" Before the system became mostly unusable, I tried looking for what filesystem was out of space, but everywhere I looked I had enough free space.
About an hour before the problem occurred, I had installed Miniconda3. I uninstalled it and things got better. Then I tried installing Anaconda and the next day the problems came back. I don't understand where the disk is getting full. I could try uninstalling Anaconda, but it doesn't make sense. Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance. Did you ever find a solution to your problem? Thanks either way. I found a solution in another thread. Clearing out tons of snapshots with btrfs-assistant resolved the issue.
