Having an issue with pictrs after full disk (leemyalone.org)

The virtual disk for my lemmy instance filled up which caused lemmy to throw a lot of errors. I resized the disk and expanded the filesystem but now the pictrs container is constantly restarting.

Might this be related?

In some cases, pict-rs might crash and be unable to start again. The most common reason for this is the filesystem reached 100% and pict-rs could not write to the disk, but this could also happen if pict-rs is killed at an unfortunate time. If this occurs, the solution is to first get more disk for your server, and then look in the sled-repo directory for pict-rs. It's likely that pict-rs created a zero-sized file called snap.somehash.generating. Delete that file and restart pict-rs.

Pictrs saves Thumbnails profile Images of users not just from your instance but also from other instances. Lemmy devs should look into optimising this like they did with the database.

That's all pictrs is for? Can it just be disabled without breaking anything else?

Pictrs is for all image storage. But posted images stay on the source instance. Thumbnails and banners are federated.

Have you checked the logs for the pictures container to see why it's restarting?

Could it be permissions?

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:
