I took a day off, since I was happy just to use my phone again, but now I kind of want to investigate a little more. I noticed something weird. Before the issue, my phone had been giving me the “Low Disk Space on ‘Filesystem root’” error, so I tried to do a pretty good cleanup. I followed the instructions on how to purge old kernels and such, and thought all went fine, but I still got that message (albeit with a bit more space). So when I updated, and I experienced failure similar to others’ failures caused by running out of space, I assumed that was it. However:
Which I believe is probably mostly the case. Ok, well Loki was able to help me get my phone back up and running. Awesome. A big part of it was replacing the two same files that fixed the original problem - but it just had to be done in a much more complicated manner.
I did notice though that I am still getting the error message: “Low Disk Space on ‘Filesystem root’” and it thinks I only have 125.4 MB of space. However, df claims I have 341,248. I find this odd. Perhaps the fact that df thinks I have enough space, but the message system thinks I don’t have enough space, is related to my previous issue that cause failure after the update. i.e. the fix didn’t work on my phone because of this anomaly. It did manifest the same way, and if the way it checks for space is df or similar, maybe it just didn’t realize I didn’t have enough space. Y’all have thoughts on this? Including @dos?
So now I’m a bit apprehensive to apply the update that just came out, since I have conflicting stories about how much room I have. So I’ll be seeing if I can fix that next.
