Hey i just did a factory reset, and the first thing i got to see is "Theres no space left" I've sshd to my Jolla, did a df -h to find out if it's really full. That tells me, that i'm using all the 14 gigs directly after the factory Reset?! I just don't have any file on my Phone... then i searched for files larger than 10mb, but there aren't so many.... Even with this Problem i can't install the 1.0.2.5 Update it's just not updating, just rebooting when i try... Please help, before factory reset it all worked fine, but i wanted to try a new fresh install :/ Greets

whats this?!

I wonder if it didn't discard the data correctly when reverting to the 'factory state' BTRFS snapshot. (just guessing)

Can you show what following command states: btrfs filesystem df /

For the record: my J1 upgrade failed about year ago and I had to do a factory reset. After reset, the file system was 70-80 % full. There were no rec* snapshots mentioned in jayki's answer but one called @_old that contained the old root disk (i.e. most stuff except /home). Removing it made the system usable again.

Thanks to the People in IRC, especially Aard i got my Problem solved:

Run mount -o subvolid=0 /dev/mmcblk0p28 /mnt/ as root then delete all snapshots called rec*, with btrfs subvolume delete because only @swap factory-@ factory-@home @ and @home are needed. Please don't even delete them!

Don't Delete @swap factory-@ factory-@home @ and @home.

The Problem was, that because of the recovery boot factory reset the device made some snapshots of my old and these were really big, these were called "rec*" So you just have to delete them and you'll have your space back again Thank you Aard (:

Note on deleting the snapshots, if you changed dir to /mnt to see the subvolumes make sure you include "/mnt/" before "rec..." in the btrfs delete command, deleting starting with rec gives a few errors and causes GUI reset. The full command will look like:

btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/rec

after that press tab for autocomplete, it will also insert / in front of the @'s

SO! All like me. Whole progress! Terminal as root:

mount -o subvolid=0 /dev/mmcblk0p28 /mnt/

Then:

btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/rec*

and last!!!

umount /dev/mmcblk0p28

I didn't do that and then i have to use recovery the golden 5. Why it keep those (good i get my pictures back :D)!? should it delete them automatic when factory reset is done?

This looks like a pretty big security problem when the system is retaining all info even with a factory reset.

It only happens, if you use the emergency factory reset... This won't happen if you just use the "normal" factory reset from the phone software.

i used factory reset only one time and i did have 10/13Gt used! So it's gain it every update also. Afrer clean i have 5/13Gt.
