# Clean up the root disk to make the Generic pf9 Services Start

## Problem

* Host is offline as the hostagent service stops due to the 100% utilisation of root disk
* In the `pf9-hostagent` service log, below error is observed:

`session.py ERROR - Failed to save desired configuration: [Errno 28] No space left on device`

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - v5.8 and Higher
* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v5.6 and Higher
* Platform9 Edge Cloud - v5.3 and Higher

## Solution

* Free up some space on root disk by clearing some logs or unnecessary data.
* Use the below commands to check the disk utilisation.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Host Terminal" %}

```javascript
df -h 
du -sch <path>
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Additional Information

* Reach out to internal OS/Infra Team/s as the hosts' resource management is at the user's end.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/generic/how-to/clean-up-the-root-disk-to-make-the-generic-pf9-services-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
