Beginners Questions • [Solved] volume boot has only 4mb disk space remaining error

Another thing that might help - by default Linux reserves 5% of a filesystem for the root account. This worked pretty well when drives were a lot smaller but 5% of a 500GB drive is 25GB

Fortunately this reserved space can be adjusted or eliminated with tune2fs - these days I reserve 1% on my root partition (which is still 5GB) and 0% on other partitions.

Hope this helps -
