if you are using jolla1, you need to run btrfs ballancer

in harbour you will find a tool made by schturman

that is the easiest way to do ballancing.

you might need to free up space. if you never did balanving before, you should have 4-6 gb free

and yes, there are dozens of questions regarding this topic

p.s. it is BTRFS balance checker 2. not in store but openrepos / harbour

There are issues with the "running out of space" notification, see https://together.jolla.com/question/56049/what-is-this-notification-running-out-of-space/

Note: btrfs balancing state should not affect whether these notifications show up or not.

Also, if you have 4 GB available in some partition / mount point, getting these notifications probably means some other partition is filling up.
