About Transmission filling up the SD card - A.T.E. - 6th Sep, 2015 01:12 AM
I have encountered the issue of having the SD card filled up, probably by Transmission, as suggested in previous threads. Deleting the automatic backups
Terminal
sudo btrfs-auto-snapshot list root
sudo btrfs-auto-snapshot destroy root/@btrfs-auto-snap_......
sudo btrfs-auto-snapshot destroy root/@btrfs-auto-snap_......
freed up some space, but it did not address the root cause: the more I download, the more space disappears, no matter if I remove the downloads and the files.
And attempts to find what is taking that lost space with du or df, as suggested in other threads, such as
Terminal
sudo du -h / | sort -n -r | head -n 10
are inconclusive.
Is there a solution to that, apart from periodically reimaging the SD card?
PS: If there is not a known solution, has anyone else had any better (or worse) luck with other solutions such as rtorrent?

It looks like there is a solution, as now the issue is solved:
- I removed all the download tasks from Tansmission
- I disbled transmission-daemon
- I restarted xbian (transmission-daemon does not load up automatically)
Still no space left.
Two days later: all that missing free space is now back.
The only thing is that I do not know what solved it.
Weird. Any suggestion? (log files to search and so on?)
