Garbage collection not working in EKS 1.23

Question

Garbage collection fails to free up disk space on worker nodes.
I can see the below message from events.

```
kubelet failed to garbage collect the required amount of images. Wanted to free 5577161113 bytes, but freed 0 bytes
```

EKS cluster version 1.23

Answer

Please run df -h /var/lib/docker from your node against a worker node that uses EKS optimized AMI. Mostly volume mount on docker has less storage.In order to do that, you could run the following commands to mount to a different volume :

+++++++++
systemctl stop docker
mount /dev/xvdf1 /var/lib/docker
systemctl start docker
+++++++++
