I have recently been made aware of an issue with a user where disk space on the SD card either hadn\'t been correctly allocated at first boot or has been used up despite the disk cleaning mechanisms in the code.
It would be really useful to get a list of users current version, status and serial numbers - just the last 4 digits of the serial number will be fine.
I have attached a image showing the info I need from the WebGUI and would really appreciate updates from current users to help me identify the scale of the issue.

Hi Chaps. My integration just stopped working quite a long while ago, and with too much \"real work\" to do, I\'d never got round to looking into it.
Spurred however by the recent addition of 2 more Echo Dots (black Friday deal!), I have spent a few hours refreshing things, and as luck would have it I came across this thread, which made me check for this issue, and lo & behold, I have no free space... - I presume this may very well be contributing to my current problems...
Here\'s the screengrab of the requested items...
N.B. I\'m using an 8GB card, and I don\'t have any others bigger than 4GB spare in my parts bin. Also, I became aware that my Rpi was using DHCP and did indeed change address at some point, and having just seen the thread on that topic, I guess that wouldn\'t have helped!
Hey Wexfordman, I\'ll chip in with what I (think) I know, Matt can correct me/add more as appropriate...
The disappearing disk space seemed to be tracked down to poor quality PSU\'s running the RPi, leading to frequent restarts. Certainly, in my case, my original build had become corrupted, so I erased & re-imaged the card & started again. Whilst monitoring over the course of the next few days, I could indeed see the free space as reported, creeping ever lower, and got down to zero in 3 or 4 days.
Having been alerted to the possibility of an insufficient PSU causing such problems, I repeated the above, and in addition swapped out the PSU for a much better one. *THAT* build has been running perfectly for well over a month, and is currently showing 417MB free.
You\'ve obviously surmised that the image you write to the card includes the partition information as well, so regardless of what size card you use, when you write the image it will create a 4GB partition. Matt has said he is going to add an option to extend the partition to use the remainder of the card in a future release, and hopefully that will be available soon.
