Installed 19.10 recently.

I have another issue opened, maybe it's related: After login, black screen for 30 sec than enter the system

Have Error: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer

checked partition size being used with GParted: 260G being used out of 930

this didn't make sense to me, tried to delete syslog and kern.log. Swap file is 2G, a mistake in reading.

checked GParted: 264G used

This happened in less than a min.

Shutting down and restart seems to clear the memory being used, but it's starting to use memory again 32G and less than 20 sec 33G

  • How can i check what is eating the SSD?
  • What can I do if my SSD memory is out?

  • Your hard disk storage is being consumed. Memory usually refers to RAM. Storage usually refers to (mountable devices like) disk/SSD/memory-card space. Using the wrong term confuses everybody. – user535733 Dec 05 '19 at 16:54

I figured out whats eating my SSD, it's the reports, seems deleting isn't enough. so I shut down rsyslog service and it solved the problem.

    This does not solve the real problem. The reason for the logs filling up is a hardware or driver problem. By stopping the logging you risk that other importent errors don't get logged, and you don't have a chance to work out what are going wrong. Search for the real problem and fix it !! – Soren A Dec 05 '19 at 14:18
  • @SorenA there is another submission about the error that is being reported. I'm stopping the service until I solve the other issue – user4602966 Dec 05 '19 at 14:29

    That's okay, but please post it as a solution to the problem. It could mislead others that don't have the whole story. – Soren A Dec 05 '19 at 14:36
  • @user4602966 Stopping rsyslog is the absolute wrong thing to do. Find out what's filling syslog, and fix it. Try sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog and look for repeating entries. – heynnema Dec 05 '19 at 23:51
