Ollama models location changed without migration, causing disappearance in `ollama list` and wasted disk space
Description:
I noticed today (Sep. 19, ollama 0.3.10) that ollama list
is empty, although a couple weeks ago I had several of them and didn't remove them.
I didn't think much about it and just re-downloaded a bunch of models, but now that I look into it, I observe that:
- Models used to be downloaded & used in
/var/lib/ollama/.ollama/models
- Models are now downloaded & used in
/var/lib/ollama
Also, there was no "migration" of the old location, therefor as of today I have >100GB of models in the old location that are unseen by ollama, unusable, and un-cleaned
Is this a planned change in the models path (and I should just clean/merge old into new), or is this a bug?
Thanks.
Additional info:
- package version(s): 0.3.10
- config and/or log files: no config
- upstream bug: nothing obvious from a search in github/ollama/issues, and asking here in Arch since this feels like a packaging / environment concern specific to the Arch build
Steps to reproduce:
- Have ollama models downloaded from a couple weeks ago and appearing a couple weeks ago in
ollama list
- Run
ollama list
now
Expected: models downloaded from a couple weeks ago are listed
Actual: models downloaded from a couple weeks ago are not listed
