I recently moved my WSL 2 Docker Desktop from a 1TB external HDD to a 16TB external HDD. Everything went well and Docker is still working well. However, when I exec into any of my containers and run the df -h command, I get the following output:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
overlay 1007G 956G 0 100% /
tmpfs 64M 0 64M 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.5G 0 7.5G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
shm 64M 0 64M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sde 1007G 956G 0 100% /config
tmpfs 7.5G 0 7.5G 0% /proc/acpi
tmpfs 7.5G 0 7.5G 0% /sys/firmware
The containers still think only 1 TB is available, so they are getting maxed out and I can’t get any new data. I’ve tried recreating my containers, restarting docker desktop, restarting my computer, I’ve modified a bunch of different settings. Nothing has fixed it.
This is how df -h looks on Ubuntu on my WSL 2:
