Check whether the chunks.archive.d directory is eating your disk space.

If so, you either can reduce archive amount or apply the hack from the
FAQ to get rid of chunks.archive.d (the latter might be ok, if only one
borg client will write to the repo, so cache rebuilds will never or
rarely happen OR if you are willing to take the time for the rebuilds).

Will make your backups slow as it will read/chunk/hash/lookup all files
content.
