I don't know, but it looks like the message is not being opened by TB. To me it seems as if a text editor is doing it instead.

I use Thunderbird ("TB") pop3 for emails, and Recoll for indexing my files including mbox files created by TB.

When I do a search in Recoll and then choose to have the message opened from within...

I have found the cause. I had set up the timeshift backup program to use BTRFS. Unfortunately, it can only backup btrfs drives when it uses the system partition to save the snapshots. Without...

I have just deleted the EFI partition and successfully restarted Ubuntu. I have also removed the parition that contained the EFI partition so now that space is unallocated.

The order of my HD is...

The check shows legacy mode. How far does this result permit me to remove the extended partition with the EFI sub partition in it? Assuming this is the green light to remove the extended partition,...

I am now unclear about the way forward. Perhaps the right path can be resolved with additional information:

I am not running a dual machine. I do not have windows installed in it.

Thank you for your reply. Of the drives on the system, this is the one that should show the EFI partition using sudo parted -lparted -l. This seems to mean that the EFI is redundant and can be...

Thank you for your response

I have an EFI partition in the extended partition, but I do not remember why I made the EFI partition years ago, but I fear that if I deleted it, I might not be...

I noticed that the free diskspace dropped to 20mb after I restored a timeshift image of the root partition. My timeshift is set to use BTRFS.

As I have run out of ideas, do you have any other suggestions to find what is taking up so much room on my root disk?

I have just run the following. It seems to imply that there is no fault with the btrfs root drive:


sudo btrfs scrub start -Bd /mnt

In my case the archived and active journals take up 112.0M in the file system. This is not sufficient to cause the discrepancy.

As far as I can tell the log files are not bloated enough to cause problems with space:
