How can I truncate my MongoDB? My disk partition is out of space!

Install, Configure and Update

Hi anyone who can help,

We are running CryoSPARC v3.3 and the disk partition that houses the MongoDB is 100% full. Is there a way that I/we can truncate the database so we can get CryoSPARC up and online again?

Thanks,

Hi All,

Just wanted to give everyone who viewed this an update on this, as I was able to get this resolved. Here’s what I had to do:

So, the main database was sitting upon a partition upon /dev/sda, specifically /dev/sda2, which became completely full. To resolve, I had about 1 TB of extra disk space upon our /dev/sdb, so:

  1. I moved the cryosparc2_dbase database folder within the /opt filesystem on /dev/sdb1,
  2. Created a symlink within the original location of the cryosparc2_dbase folder to point to the new location.
  3. Started CryoSPARC back up, and all works properly now.

Not exactly ideal but got us out of the jam.
