Information

container overlay size increases when a new torrent is added; [root@ms2 var]# du -Sh /var/lib/docker/overlay2/0c24011afcc11fb3a1f86874a81b59f659ce02fa017ad1ee5603831c2a4d3193/merged/run/s6/services/qbittorrent | sort -rh | head -5 97G /var/lib/docker/overlay2/0c24011afcc11fb3a1f86874a81b59f659ce02fa017ad1ee5603831c2a4d3193/merged/run/s6/services/qbittorrent 12K

Also the incomplete torrent files are created on the correct location

Current setup

Docker on CentOS7 host

guillaumedsde/alpine-qbittorrent-openvpn:latest@sha256:2ae14174f55be6a17a7128f2d0352d3b05239a00eaf26b4801691d7b213becda

docker-compose.yml file or docker run command

how did you start the container? (don't forget to use backticks for creating a proper code block)

Attempted Fix(es)

Download location is set to be on a different drive than /var, and it

[rshamsz]

I restarted the container and the overlay files are removed; the Qbittorrent GUI shows wrong download history:

And incomplete download files are still available in download/incomplete folder
