Mikrotik lack of space or full drive and the fix

-
This one is a tricky bug that I've ran into.

If you hit this, when you go to Files, you will see much more used space than what you're using. Often not enough unused space to upgrade.



Here's how to fix it.

You need the fix_space.npk file.

It's currently hosted here:
https://www.mikrotik.com/download/share/fix_space.npk

I mirrored it here if it disappears:

Use it like a normal upgrade. Just put/drag it into your files then reboot your Mikrotik router. After the reboot you'll see your free space is normal.

Mirroring ports on Mikrotik

Most Mikrotik routers have switch chips. On most models you can use the switch chip to mirror a port to another port on the same switch chip. On the RB1100AHx2 there are two Atheros 8327 switch chips. One is ports eth1-eth5 and the other is eth6-eth10. Mikrotik has a wiki page on what models have which switch chip, and what is supported . To mirror all eth1 to eth2 traffic from the CLI: [admin@Mikrotik] /interface ethernet switch> print Flags: I - invalid   #   NAME      TYPE          MIRROR-SOURCE    MIRROR-TARGET    SWITCH-ALL-PORTS  0   switch2   Atheros-8327  none             none              1   switch1   Atheros-8327  none             none             [admin@Mikrotik] /interface ethernet switch> set mirror-source=ether1 mirror-target=ether2 0 [admin@Mikrotik] /interface ethernet switch> print Flags: I - invalid   #   NAME               TYPE          MIRROR-SOURCE              MIRROR-TARGET              SWITCH-ALL-PORTS  0   switch2
