After upgrade to 34.0.1 disk usage spikes, resulting in out of space messages

pooh22 · July 22, 2026, 6:25am

Last week I updated my home nextcloud installation and all went well, so great

However I started getting e-mail from my system (and I thought this had to do with me fixing the e-mail, but that turned out to be wrong).

The e-mails contain things like:

PHP Notice:  fwrite(): Write of 425 bytes failed with errno=28 No space left on device in /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Log/File.php on line 56
PHP Notice:  fwrite(): Write of 425 bytes failed with errno=28 No space left on device in /var/www/nextcloud/lib/private/Log/File.php on line 56

The log directory isn’t set, so it is writing in /var/www/nextcloud, which is on the /var partition. When I look there, there’s 17GB free, so what’s the problem I thought…

Since the upgrade the storage varies by so much, that it becomes full and then empties again. That is a lot!

I’m guessing something changed with the backup, but the release notes for 33->34 are empty?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Not unless you provide the context requested in the support template which you seem to have overlooked.

I now see it is nextcloud.log and the subsequent .1 (which is now 8.9GB), this results in a full partition after a few days and then logrotate or something fixes it. But looking at the logs it is complaining constantly about a few things in very verbose log lines (long SQL queries)

The default loglevel is 2 so normally none of those lines you posted would be logged. Unfortunately you didn’t post your configuration so not sure…

Are you perhaps using a different loglevel?

pooh22 · July 24, 2026, 8:12am

My loglevel was set to 0, so that could explain it. I’ll wait for a day to see if this solves it.

I’m still wondering why this suddenly started to be a problem after the upgrade… I know the upgrade modified the config (the current version of nextcloud is in it), I don’t remember if I ever changed the loglevel (probably, because of other issues).

If the loglevel was set to 0 for a long time, it seems v34 logs a lot more at that level than the v33 before it…
