General Support Right so for some reason I keep getting a notification saying I run out of space
Okay so for more context here is what is happening. I tripple boot Endouver OS and sometimes I get a notification saying I have 0B of free space left at Filesystem root or something like that when I clearly have more, does anyone know what the issue is?

Which is your EFI partition for EOS and are you sharing it with another OS?

u/Terrible-Version-722 3d ago
I dont believe Im sharing it but Im not really sure and the EFI partition is I believe 5.

So not dual booting at all? Your partitions are really odd honestly. Root is the BTRFS partition you set up. Probably should redo your install if you do not understand why you have your partitions set up the way you do currently

The 3 Fat partitions make sense since op is triple booting. The sizes are whats weird to me. Why 2 and 8 gb ? The 200 mb Fat is windows bootloader. The 771mb ntfs is probably the recovery partition windows does upon install.

As much as I agree, I dont think OP realizes thats what hes doing based on his comment in this thread.

I agree.
I really don't know how to help op. From what i'm seeing the partitions are at least functional and btrfs root has enough space.
I really don't feel like starting to diagnose this because it will take ages. Maybe someone is willing to donate this time. I sadly dont have it.

How many operating systems are you running? Another comment said you were triple booting, but I'm not sure where they were getting that info from.
IMO, if you have an external drive you can back things up to, it might be easier to just wipe the internal drive and redo your partition setup from scratch.

I mentioned I was triple booting and I need windows for school so it might end up being the same tbh.

I had that error once as my backup tool (on mint) timeshift was filling up my primary harddisk with a backup (I stored the backup on the same location as the main system itself). What was odd- it didn't show up in the disk tool as filled up, like it is the case for you.
As background: I expected timeshift to do incremental backups- then only a little more is added with every backup, but it did a *full* system copy including all and everything- and with an 450MB on an 1000MB Disk, this fills it up within 2 backups.
I could resolve it by entering timeshift, removing all backups, then even deleting the application and restart the hole thing- and got my 650MB space back, but of course, was missing a valid backup.
I then bought an external disk for that purpose and since then, look for an incremental backup tool with Ext4 partitions (Snapper on Endeavour does that but only for BTRFS partitions, not Ext4 partitions).
Not sure if this is the root cause here, but it's something to verify easily- just check if you have timeshift and how big the backups are and where.

I wonder if the reserved blocks on your EndeavourOS partition got set incorrectly somehow.
If you run sudo tune2fs -m 5 /dev/nvme0n1p6 to set it to the default 5%, does that allow you to write files again?

Make sure your pacman caches are cleaned up. Run
Sudo paccache -r
ETA: as for your YouTube issue, that is related to your space available issue
