Hi All,
I’m experiencing an issue with a failed Incus container export that has left behind a backup directory I cannot remove.
Specific Details:
- Incus version: 6.5
- Attempted to export an Incus container
- Export process failed and filled up my disk
- Left with a directory at: /var/lib/incus/storage-pools/default/backup.785101817
- When attempting to remove the directory, I receive an error about a read-only file system
- File system appears to be BTRFS (possibly on a loopback device)
Questions:
- What are the recommended steps to safely remove this backup directory?
- Are there any specific BTRFS-related commands or considerations for removing this directory?
- How can I prevent similar issues in future container exports?
Attempted Removal Attempts:
- Standard rm commands have failed
- Received “read-only file system” error
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated in resolving this backup directory issue.
