If you are on Linux or Windows, your setup will vary, and command will definitely differ.

We need to ssh into xHyve and inspect the filesystem from inside.

Obviously, since this is a datastore we didn’t do that here, so we have absolutely no access to the volume data from the host. In case of D4M’s xHyve or Virtualbox volumes can at the same time also be bound to the host filesystem - synchronizing your files into the containers. Note the “Mountpoint” property, we will need it for the next step.Īll the volumes that our containers use, are bound between the Docker VM and its containers. The command above will use the built in volume inspector tool to draw out the mount information from within the VM. deploy.sh scripts: # Register shutdown handler function gracefulShutdown () ] What if it isn’t the volume at all? People who used older versions of Docker for Mac might remember a time where old container layer caches were not cleaned and over time fill up the machine, so we all had to add something like this to our. Find what is taking up the spaceįirst off, we need to figure out the curlprit. Like real huge.For instance, the today’s example is a Symfony Web Profiler datastore non-bound volume that took up 60GB instead of 7. Sometimes, for some users, some of the volumes get huge. I have this huge project, like 10ish+ containers and 40+ volumes (in local dev ofc.).
