Hashstore Error- Drive out of spaced

DannoUK · January 22, 2026, 8:16am

I have an issue where my node is down due to running out of space. Is there anything I can do to free up space?

The log is showing this:

Let me guess… Windows node?

DannoUK · January 22, 2026, 7:32pm

No running in docker on Unraid.

Have you completed the migration from piecestore to hashstore? If so, check the folders inside piecestore and trash. If there are any files, you can delete them.

DannoUK · January 22, 2026, 9:18pm

I’m not really sure how to check. Today was the first I’d heard of hashstore and looking through the migration guide it confused the hell out of me. Is there a command I need to run to confirm if everything has migrated?

If you did not initiated migration by yourself - and you didn’t as you are not aware - you are not migrated. And as you have no space on disk, starting it is not a way either.
As you are not migrated - take a look into storage/trash directory.
You can check how much is occupied by trash there by:

du -d 0 -h

If you use 2 instead of 0you will see it on sattelite/date level.
I’m not 100% sure (someone else will confirm or denny), but I think you can safely delete those older than 7 days.
Again not sure, but another candidate is orders/archive content

Thank you for your reply.

My trash folder looks as follows:

I have deleted a folder which had the date of the 14th Jan 2026 which has got my node back online but i’m not sure how long this will last.

The orders/archive folder has quite a lot files in it as well.

Reduce storage.allocated-disk-space to something slightly smaller, or it will happen again.

DannoUK · January 23, 2026, 9:59am

i was just looking at that as we speak. I’ll get it lowered and monitor it for awhile.
