keep getting error number 28: No space left on device, although I'm no where near my limit

[Ken Stillson]

I've got an automated script that's uploading changed files on one of
my servers. It's uploaded many thousands of files, and generally
works fine.

However, I'm consistently getting "[Errno 28] No space left on
device" for several particular files, even though I've only used 70gb
of my 100gb limit (according to the key management page).

one of the files is large (1.6gb), but the other is only 11mb- no
where near the largest file I have uploaded.

my script is in Python, using the boto library.. The actual failing
code looks something like this:

src_key = boto.storage_uri(src, "file").get_key()
size = os.path.getsize(src)
dst_url = boto.storage_uri("%s/%s" % (bucket, dest), "gs", True)
dst_key = dst_url.new_key()
tmp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
src_key.get_file(tmp)
tmp.seek(0)
dst_key.set_contents_from_file(tmp)

Interesting, the copy works (at least for the smaller file) if I do it
"manually" with gsutil cp.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hello-

Do you know at what line of code you get the failure at? The error message you're getting doesn't look like an error you're getting from the network, and looking at the code, it looks like it creates a temporary file on a local partition. Maybe your /tmp partition doesn't have enough space for the temporary file?

Cheers,

Hey Jerjou,

Thanks- that's probably it. Now that I see the alternate method, I'll
change my Python to use set_contents_from_filename, and hopefully
that'll get around the tmp space issue. Thanks again!
