Want to learn how to solve full/corrupt and failed disk issues. Try these eight tips to diagnose a Linux and arch linux no space left on device Unix server hard disk drive problems.
#1 - Error: No space left on deviceWhen the Disk is full on Unix-like system you get an error message on screen. In this example, I'm running linux sort no space left on device fallocate command and my system run out of disk space:$ fallocate -l 1G test4.img fallocate: test4.img: fallocate failed: No space left on device The first step is to run the df command to find out information about total space and available space on a file system including partitions: $ df OR try human readable output format: $ df -h Sample outputs: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted onNo Space Left On Device Ubuntu

Analysis When space is concerned, there are two important no space left factors that a system has to consider. The first one is the most obvious: there must be space available on the file system, meaning that there are still unused data blocks available on the file system. However, an often overlooked second factor is that must still be metadata blocks available on the file system as well. In most file systems, these are called i-nodes or inodes. Whenever a file is created on a file system, an inode is used to contain information about the file. But many file systems have a fixed amount of these inodes (which is set during the mkfs operation of the file system). To check the state of the inodes on a Linux system, use df -i Resolution Verify the system has free inodes available: root #df -i /Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda3 216000 216000 0 100% / If indeed short on inodes, try removing obsolete or unnecessary files on the file system.
