Hi, this issue is caused due to a small init partition causing ABRoot to run out of space when upgrading the image (and this also cause issues with kernel upgrade so we pinned it in the last update and unpinned it in the latest one).

There is a fix for the space issue in the February update (https://vanillaos.org/updates) with ABRoot v2.1.1 release that was shipped to users across all images.

I believe your device hasn't auto updated due to unfavourable conditions (i.e. cellular, high cpu, etc) for VSO check or you might have your update check interval set to a month instead of the default "weekly" check or the auto updates might be switched off entirely. So in this case, manual interaction might be necessary.

---

To mitigate the space issue and also update the system run the following command on the terminal: host-shell then type pkexec bash -c "ABROOT_FREE_SPACE=true abroot upgrade"

Thank you very much! That solved my problem.

FYI I saw the note on the updates page, also before attempting to do the update to begin with, I was not able to find anything about what that ment in practice or to work about it.

I hope at least this issue can serve is a help for others stock as I was 😄

Again, thank you for your help!
