Importing images into Kubernetes with ctr will remove others

Question

I'm trying to import @80 images into an offline Kubernetes environment. The problem is that when the import is finished I'll have @30 images only so not all images are imported

What I observed is that when importing some images, those images will remove others. How can I investigate/fix that?

How I created the images is with:

docker save <image> > something{1}.tar
docker save <image> > something{2}.tar
...

Command to import images is:

ctr image import something{...}.tar --platform linux/amd64

More or less this is what I'm doing

Regards,

This is a sign of not enough space and then the images are deleted automatically.

In my case I had to check the containerd.log and had ImageDelete events: /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/containerd/containerd.log

time="2024-01-26T15:42:18.884230214+01:00" level=info msg="ImageDelete event name:\"sha256:8b215fdc9a79f9c49df88d7806dc70b063cfaa6dc50015698d...\""
