After cleaning device (was endless reboot). After a full recovery and download the last two firmware (1.0.3.8 from the first time installation does not start, double-loaded firmware) size of the installed system has become a very big 4GB (up to reflash was 2,2 GB). Where temporary files are stored that can be removed?

Code:

[root@localhost nemo]# btrfs fi show Label: 'sailfish' uuid: 0f8a2490-53ed-4ff6-ba34-b81df3430387 Total devices 1 FS bytes used 5.16GB devid 1 size 13.75GB used 13.75GB path /dev/mmcblk0p28

Btrfs v0.20-rc1 [root@localhost nemo]# btrfs fi df / Data: total=13.08GB, used=4.94GB System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=4.00KB System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00 Metadata, DUP: total=330.00MB, used=228.29MB Metadata: total=8.00MB, used=0.00 [root@localhost nemo]#

Du is your friend.

Start Terminal, login as root (devel-su), go to root directory (cd /) and type:

Code:

du -h --max-depth=1

This command will tell you how "full" is every directory. If you need to inspect deeply, change the "--max-depth" number (2, 3, 4...) or enter the "suspicious" directory and, from there, repeat the du command with depth 1.

Another way: find.

Code:

find / -size +100M

This command will find files bigger than 100 megabyte. But I prefer du because find can discover big files, but not a lot of small files occupying the same size.

By instruction we were advised to delete all subdirs starts with rec*.

But after this error we discovered, that inside of the "rec-20140209_093232_@" directory there is another one and it is called "factory-@". That is why "btrfs subvolume delete" refused to delete it and we were also advised do not delete "factory-@".

Now questions are:
What "factory-@" is doing inside of "rec-20140209_093232_@"?
How can we delete "rec-20140209_093232_@", if inside there is another directory which we must leave?

thanks in advance

I have deleted the whole rec folder, but if you're not sure dont delete nothing. Maybe Jolla will come with beter solution without risk.

Victorious: you seem to have @_old there, so you might want to try as root:
# touch /.cleanup-needed
# sync; sync;
# reboot

(hint: you can see what this does by looking preinit script)
