The virtual disk for my lemmy instance filled up which caused lemmy to throw a lot of errors. I resized the disk and expanded the filesystem but now the pictrs container is constantly restarting.

Is there a way to reset the pictrs DB without affecting the posts, commenst and users DB?
pictrs database is completely separate from lemmy database. If you want you just delete everything in the pictrs volume and start afresh. You will lose all images though.
There’s only two local posts on my instance so i’m not worried about losing thoseabout.
Will the pictrs from subscribed communities in other instances be restored after a db reset?
pictrs from subscribed communities in other instances
Dont worry about those. Those images are not stored by your pictrs instance. They are directly fetched from the native instances.
OK. I just deleted the pictrs folder from srv/lemmy/leemyalone.org/volumes but I am still having the same issue.
You’ll have to check again. My guess is though you should not have deleted the pictrs folders. Just its contents. You can recreate the folder again though:
mkdir pictrs sudo chown 991:991 pictrsBut check the logs first.
You can try mounting a new folder as pictrs volume. I assume your other data will be safe since it is in the database.
