I started a torrent download to an lvm storage. The file was bigger then the free space on the storage, so I deleted it through the transmission interface, then I emptied the "Trash". Now this is the output for df -h

Filesystem                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vgubuntu-root  198G  187G  219M 100% /

As you can see, there should be roughly 10G of free space (size 198G, used 187G) but only 219M show up for available storage. I guess there was some corruption when I deleted the torrent before download.

The torrent size was 30G.

Somewhere I found that I should check open files. I guess restart should solve the issue if this is the problem, but I still checked out the stuff I found on the internet.

  • Biggest file in the output of lsof +L1
pulseaudi 1613 adam    6u   REG    0,1 67108864     0    2050 /memfd:pulseaudio (deleted)

I guess pulseaudio shouldn't be involved in this issue, and even if it is, if the size is given in bytes, this can't be the case.

Nasty. You filled up the / partition. That is never going to end well. The best thing I can suggest is that you force the deletion of the trash directory. Doing

rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*

should do it. You may need a "sudo" on the front of that if you were playing around as root when you did this.

The issue had nothing to do with lvm. I had a google drive connected, it seems that it was the issue
