Filesystem Root has 0 bytes remaining -- Possible Timeshift issue?

Post by NRGibbons »

I am fairly confident there is a probelm with Timeshift -- it hasn't completed a backup in over a week (I keep 1 weekly and 1 daily) and I believe error logs are filling up /var/log. Unfortunately I don't know what I should do to resolve this :?

Here is output of inxi -Fxxxrz:

Yess, reading this helped. It is very obvious in retrospect, but I did not realize how storage-hungry timeshift was -- reducing it to only 1 monthly backup was sufficient. Thank you!
