I'm having an issue where when attempting to perform a "git pull", I receive the following errors message:
Unable to create '/path/.git/ORIG_HEAD.lock': No space left on device
The thing that's puzzling me is that I definitely have quite a bit of space left on the device:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 7.8G 2.6G 5.2G 33% /
devtmpfs 7.4G 16K 7.4G 1% /dev
tmpfs 7.4G 0 7.4G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/xvdf 250G 8.5G 242G 4% /path
I'm also witnessing logs being written to on the same device that is being said to be full.
The only thing that comes to mind is that this disk was recently upgraded from 8GB to 250GB over at AWS, and it appears that git believes it's still an 8GB drive?
Output of fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/xvda1: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes, 16777216 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk /dev/xvdf: 268.4 GB, 268435456000 bytes, 524288000 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
df -i also shows only 1% used on that volume?
Does this make any sense? Thanks for any tips and comments you can provide.
For anyone encountering the same issue, the way I solved it was to unmount the drive, run xfs_repair on it, re-mount it, and restart the EC2 instance.
Not very elegant, but it saved me the headache.
Hope it helps someone else.
