AWX- Filesystem space issue because of "/var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.overlayfs/snapshots/" directory

AWX- Filesystem space issue because of “/var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.overlayfs/snapshots/” directory.

  • Our AWX running with AWX 24.6.1 version and Filesystem filled very frequently. I have searched other forums but no luck.

I have referred following site to install AWX on my environment.

  • version details
    kubectl version
    Client Version: v1.29.6+k3s2
    Kustomize Version: v5.0.4-0.20230601165947-6ce0bf390ce3
    Server Version: v1.29.6+k3s2
    AWX 24.6.1
    Our gitlab project size is around 7GB, and Filesystem size is 120GB.

Any input will be much appreciable.

Also, sometime, usage getting reduced and again increasing
Is this expected behavior?

Is there any setting available, where we can fix the issue. Please advise.
