I want to thank everyone for the help!
I was finally able to find the issue. Thanks to @slappy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 's question regarding my filesystem type, I decided to look into it.
I use btrfs, and this command showed me, that I have a lot of snapshots made by apt.
$ sudo btrfs subvolume list -s /
...
ID 318 gen 2617038 cgen 2566262 top level 5 otime 2024-02-13 06:59:10 path @apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-jammy-2024-02-13_06:59:10
It was probably possible to determine how much space each of them was occupying, but I decided to simply delete them all and be done with the issue. So I installed apt-btrfs-snapshot
and run delete-older-than 0d
.
As a result, I now have 29 Gb and no backups, which is fine with me.
I doubt it's useful for performance evaluation, however, if you are writing a paper and want to compare your algorithm to an existing one, this can be handy
