On my Jolla C (2.0.5.6), I got a notification that the free space was running out on my device. I tapped on it and it disappeared without opening any window, so I don't remember the exact wording.

Looking to the output of df -h, no partition seems to have critically low free space though:

There is one partition on 100%, /fimage, but it seems to contain a factory image to restore onto the device, so I presume 100% full is its correct state. /run (a tmpfs ramdisk) is on 74%, but du -hs /run returns only 9.6M, so that seems strange to me.

Any idea on what might have caused the notification? This is a Jolla C running Ext4, so this is not a Btrfs issue.
