The directory "/.mount/packages" shows 100% utilisation under "df-h" shell command. However, the "show system storage" command in operational mode shows normal utilisation.

When running the "df -h" command in shell mode, the /.mount/packages shows 100% utilisation.

It is an expected behaviour. This is how the file system is partitioned. We could monitor the below directories under "df -h" to understand the storage utilisation on switch :

LAB SAMPLE OUTPUT :

<snip>

/dev/gpt/junos     6.0G  950M  4.6G  17%  /.mount >> shows the total utilisation

/dev/ada2p1      496M  176K  456M   0%  /.mount/config

/dev/ada1p1      475M  1.1M  436M   0%  /.mount/var

tmpfs         8.3G  156K  8.3G   0%  /.mount/tmp

<snip>

The above directories utilisation should remain under threshold values.

Please refer the below KB to check the OID for storage utilisation :
