`show media \| i rootfs`	Display the current state of the root filesystem (rootfs). By default, the following files are stored in rootfs : Older config commits Older .iso image and .tar files for SMUs All the extracted .tar files	The installation is blocked if it utilizes more than 92% of the disk space on the rootfs . To avoid this, we recommend maintaining: Twice the free space of the .iso image file size when installing the software At least two and a half times the size of the .tar file when installing SMUs To free up space in rootfs : use the clear install rollback id id to remove older rollback points consider storing all user data in the harddisk:/ location
