Errors when updating PiHole

[palazzja]

Hi i get this error whenever i try Pihole -up or Pihole -g.

I have over 120g free on the drive and doesn't look like there are any other issues with storage. PIhole works as expected.

any ideas?

You're getting a disk I/O error—likely due to file corruption or permission issues, not space.

Quick Fix:

1. Stop Pi-hole:

   sudo service pihole-FTL stop
   

2. Delete corrupted DB:

   sudo rm /etc/pihole/gravity.db
   

3. Rebuild gravity DB:

   sudo pihole -g
   sudo service pihole-FTL start
   

If issue persists, run sudo fsck on your SD card and check dmesg for hardware errors. Let me know if you're on Docker or Pi.
