Mounted Disk Space Full - BirdNET Pi System Failure on Raspberry Pi 4b

Open Rebero opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Environment

  • Device: Raspberry Pi 4 B (PCB 1.5 Sony UK)
  • OS: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
  • BirdNET Pi Version: [Please insert the version if known]

Description

After running smoothly for a couple of days, my BirdNET Pi installation on Raspberry Pi 4b encounters an error where it fails due to the mounted disk space running full.

Expected Behavior

BirdNET Pi should run continuously without encountering disk space issues, or it should manage disk space appropriately to prevent system failure.

Actual Behavior

The system logs indicate repeated failures with the message:

/etc/birdnet/birdnet.conf: line 31: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: command not found

This suggests that there might be an issue with the configuration or a script that's causing the system to attempt executing a non-existent command, which could be related to the disk space issue.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install BirdNET Pi on Raspberry Pi 4b with Ubuntu Bullseye 64-bit lite.
  2. Let it run for a couple of days.

Log Files and Screenshots

  • The log activity shows constant failures related to the birdnet.conf file.
  • The system information screenshot indicates that the disk space is completely 305025217-61190b6a-6697-4708-92a1-1f5cc130d69b Screenshot 2024-02-15 at 10 38 33 full.

Additional Context

  • The system uptime was 1 day, 22 hours, and 20 minutes before the last boot.
  • Physical memory usage is at 19% with a total of 1.48 GiB used out of 7.63 GiB.
  • The /dev/root partition is at 100% usage with 0 B free out of 112.94 GiB.

I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue or any potential workarounds to prevent this from happening in the future.

Thank you for your assistance.

@Rebero the 'command' that is not found here is a string you do not want to leak I think. Better remove it from your text and blur out the string in your screenshot.

@Nachtzuster Thank you for the hint. I have updated the text and screenshot.

I'm assuming that under "Advanced Settings" you've set the "Full Disk Behavior" to "purge"?

Most likely the disk ran full because analysis is not happening. The log shows two different errors that would indicate that the analysis pipeline is crashing.

I wonder if the config file is corrupted, the errors hint of that. Could you post /etc/birdnet/birdnet.conf

@PeterMescher Thx for the follow up. Yes, I did.
