Thank you for your bug report. Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
Could you add a journalctl -b <n> log from the corresponding session (n
being the number of system start since the issue).
You also wrote that you had 4.6G of space, so it means the tracker cache
used it, which also seems buggy, what's the output of 'du
.cache/tracker/'

Title:
tracker causes 0 bytes free in /home
Status in tracker package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This is what I have:
Partition Ubuntu mounted in / : 20 GiB, 12 GiB in use
Partition home mounted in /home : 8 GiB, 3.1 GiB in use
Partition Data mounted in /mnt/Data : 120 GiB, 35 GiB in use
Symlink /home/me/Download -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Download
Symlink /home/me/Documents -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Documents
Symlink /home/me/Pictures -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Pictures
Symlink /home/me/Music -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Music
Symlink /home/me/Videos -> /mnt/Data/Users/me/Videos
/home had 4.6 GB free.
After I copied 8 GB of *.epub files to /home/me/Documents/eBooks/, I got 0
byte free on /home after 10 minutes, caused by tracker files in
/home/user/.cache/tracker/
gsettings set org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files low-disk-space-limit 10
did not help.
It seems, that tracker estimates more space than 4.6 GB because of the
symlinks to /mnt/Data/...
Suggestions:
- tracker should not try to index DRM encrypted epub files and similars
- all tracker components, not only tracker-miner*.service, should respect
low-disk-space-limit
- tracker components should never create situations with 0 bytes free, even
if low-disk-space-limit is -1
- tracker components anyway should estimate free space correctly (not include
space from symlinks to other file systems)
Workaround:
Add '*.epub' to org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files ignored-files.
