Unable to update Synology packages

[fredbert]

My /var is 330 MB and I don't have /var/lib/docker.

You said that you have the same issue ?

"Unable to update "<package>". The free space of system partition is insufficient. Please contact the Synology support team for help."

Now you say:

"I get this message when I´m trying to update from DSM 7.1: "Insufficient system capacity for update. Please contact Synology Support for assistance"

Anyway, df -h looks normal to me but, would still check:

There is insufficient system capacity for updates. What can I do?​

If that doesn't help, please contact Support (click Support at the top) or go to Synology Account

Issue solved

@fredbert that was the issue. Years ago I installed docker but I never used it as my DS18play is not compatible (I noticed after installing it...). I did not remove the folder /var/lib/docker... I just moved the folder to homes and I can now upgrade.

@Birdy I totally you´re right, the error I got was something else.

Many thanks for your quick effective reply

When using var\log\docker one must relocate it from the root partition to the volumeX partition. Otherwise, Synology's smallish root partition will be overwhelmed. Relocation of this folder involves some CLI machinations.
