Hi so I just downloaded umbrel on an old computer with an 8TB hard drive, this is what my storage is showing up as. It is only showing 1TB and of that the os is taking almost all of it. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hmmm yes that is strange. Do you know if you computer’s hard-drive is partitioned at all?

In terms of investigating the system storage usage, can you please share your system logs, you can go to Settings \> Advanced Settings \> Terminal \> umbrelOS. Then paste the following command and hit Enter:

```auto
sudo journalctl | sudo tee /usr/local/lib/node_modules/umbreld/ui/log.txt > /dev/null

```

It will ask you for your login password, just type the password (it’ll be hidden as you type it) and hit Enter.

Then open [http://umbrel.local/log.txt](http://umbrel.local/log.txt) in a new browser window, save the file, and share it here

Hey, thanks, I did not partition the device at all which makes it really weird.

The log file is bigger than the sites file limit, so I linked it to dropbox, let me know if you want me to send it in any other way.

As per my knowledge Please check if the drive is properly mounted and formatted in Ext4. If the problem persists, consider installing Umbrel with the drive connected and recognized.
