Btrfs balancing problems when upgrading to 2.0.2/Aurajoki
asked 2016-09-08 11:57:52 +0300
Hey Sailors,
please help me to repair my Jolla, it's my main phone :-( well, probably the last 2 lines explain the most issues - probably u don't want to read the whole story
background: I recently resetted my phone to factory defaults and upgraded to 2.0.1, after using it about 2 months I decided to upgrade to 2.0.2. As always, the update wanted to do some btrfs balancing. I did that and put the phone back in the pocket. After a while I wanted to check if balancing is done and if I could do the upgrade but the upgrade wanted me to do the balancing again. So I did that. Systemsettings became inaccessible, so I restarted it. After that, the system-upgrade part of systemsettings was inacessible. So I decided to do the upgrade in terminal with version --dub, which acutally worked. I restarted my phone and 2.0.2 showed up.
Now the problems begin: System sometimes hangs and all apps are closed, after that, the store shows no installed apps, warehouse doesn't work anymore android stays shut down. After reboot the phone works normally for a while. So I thought, do btrfs balancing in terminal. It starts, but stays at 2% over the night (8h).
So the question: Do I have to reset the phone? Will this solve the problem? It seems the filesystem is corrupted somehow - or will freeing space and restart balancing work? Please help me out!
Thanks in Advance, Ray
touch /forcefsck --> no disk space :-D What can I erase on root partition? brtfs-balance allocate : 100%
Try moving all your user data like Pictures, Downloads, Documents etc to the SD card or to your computer (good idea anyway in case something goes wrong and the phone stops working completely), remove the files from your phone and try btrfs-balance again.
I don't think there is much to delete on the root partition.
In any case resetting the phone won't solve this issue so don't do it.

I need to clean /, but need to know what exactly can be deleted. Well, can it be that / and /home are the same partitions somehow?! Can't write on both nor delete anything - in both cases it says "no space left"
