Getting no space left on device while running geth --datadir ./datadir console

Question

I am following this tutorial and while running below command.

geth --datadir ./datadir console 

It ran for 15 hours and then returned below error.

INFO [08-31|09:54:13.343] Imported new state entries

From the error log its clear this is memory issue but When i check the free memory using df -h the output is given below.

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev             32G  4.0K   32G   1% /dev

none            100M     0  100M   0% /run/user

Could you please give me some hint where i am going wrong?

Answer 1

Actually the problem was,Total memory i had is 128GB but the memory allocated to /dev/sda1 55G 52G 0 100% / was 55GB only. so error i was getting.

To solve this i allocated more memory around 100GB to /dev/sda1.

For that i had to reinstall OS.
