Disk full

RouterOS General

Hi!
We have a problem with CCR-1009. Dude database occupy all disk space!
no space.JPG
When we try to delete any files, error occur:
remove failed.JPG
When we try remove file from console - some error:

 
 /file> remove 10
action failed (6)

We don’t try a reboot the device, maybe somebody help us!

Insert flash card or USB drive. Stop the dude. Move the dude storage to the external drive and start the dude. Then free the internal disk drive. And don’t use internal storage for dude never more.

Yes, I’am insert flash now, but CCR don`t see any new disk attached

We cant move/delete/create files on main storage, because error occur! Thanks for reply!

  1. External SD-Card/USB Flash drive must be formated first - https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:System/Disks (due to just bought sd-cards/flash drives usually pre-formatted as FAT32, Mikrotik needs ext3).
  2. You can’t delete existing files due to they locked by running Dude. Stop Dude and then try to delete.

Yep, this don`t help. On other CCR flash attached and recognized without a peep!

My friend, we can`t delete any file from storage: old backup, supout, etc.. :frowning:

When we reboot this router - CCR print at LCD “Loading kernel” and don`t boot anymore! Netinstall repair flash error!

action failed (6)
  • it’s a flash file system error!

Maybe the local flash lifetime has ended because it was excessively used for dude database and maybe by other things.

We think that this is not a flash memory problem, but a mikrotik!
Does overflow of flash memory lead to loss of all data? Where did you see this ext3/linux? Why there is no reserve for system functions?
Dear mikrotik, maybe need some fix?

It is quite usual for Linux systems to run into trouble when the disk is full.
Many programs do not check for write errors or have no way to recover from them.
Before deploying Dude you should first read the documentation on storage requirements and install additional storage.
I know it is easier to blame it on the manufacturer, but installing software without understanding its requirements is the first problem.

Regarding ext3/linux -

  1. ROS built on Linux, it is well known fact %) Strange to have other than ext3/ext4 on it.
  2. I meant ext3 for external flash not internal. You can format it fat32/ext3 but ext3 is recommended.
  3. If suppose that internal flash built on linux and formatted ext3 - then it is usual behavior for Linux to switch drive to read-only mode for the case of troubles.
    Netinstall had to fix this. Why not - good question (to Mikrotik).
    Other option - use RouterBOOT - https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:RouterBOOT

Yep. What problem occur in action filed#6? Why our friends from mikrotik don’t give a comment to this error type, user friendly description?


Yours respectfully!

ERROR 6 = I/O error. this is the error that you get when your harddisk has failed. in this case the flash has failed.
