I'm having an issue on starting k3s. I thought it could be because of limited local storage space, so I changed the

--default-local-storage-path

and

--data-dir

to a location that has more space. After a restart, I'm getting the same issue.

What do your partitions look like? How full are they?

The path I'm using for both above flags has plenty of space.

Did you reinstall with a new --data-dir or did you just try to change it on an existing node and then restart the service?

Both

it’s complaining about insufficient ephemeral-storage, not space in the image store. so changing the data-dir won’t help with that, it’s out of space wherever /tmp or /var/tmp (I can’t remember which) is

Okay that makes more sense to me, thanks. How can I check if it's /tmp or /var/tmp?

oh actually I guess it’s /var/lib/kubelet

Yeah I'm just going to do that for now.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kubelet --root-dir string Default: /var/lib/kubelet Directory path for managing kubelet files (volume mounts, etc).

Yeah I was going to ask, but figured it would break a lot of stuff.
