Hello,

• Delete any unnecessary or large files on the instance to free up space on the root filesystem. Make sure to check folders like /var/log for log files that could be cleared out.
• You can also check the Cloud9 logs or the system logs in /var/log for any errors related to lack of disk space during the installation process. Hopefully clearing some space will do the trick
• As a last resort, you may need to resize the root volume to provide more space. This would require stopping the instance first.
• In some cases, you might need to adjust the disk quota for snap packages.

Thanks

You can modify the quota by editing the /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service file and adding the --max option to the ExecStart line. For example:

ExecStart=/usr/lib/snapd/snapd --max=400MB

After modifying the file, restart the snap service using sudo systemctl restart snapd.service

But I would suggest to first try to focus on other issues mentioned in my earlier response

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. This could be applicable:

In some cases, you might need to adjust the disk quota for snap packages.

The snap dirs do show 100%, is this OK? If not, how would I adjust the quota for them?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi!

OK, thanks! I tried the other items that you suggested already:

1. removed some large files from /var/logs
2. checked logs for errors
3. root has enough space

root@pdfservice:/etc/systemd/system# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev
tmpfs           395M  916K  394M   1% /run
/dev/vda1        25G   20G  4.2G  83% /
tmpfs           2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs           2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/loop0      106M  106M     0 100% /snap/core/16091
/dev/loop1      106M  106M     0 100% /snap/core/16202
/dev/vda15      105M  8.9M   96M   9% /boot/efi
tmpfs           395M     0  395M   0% /run/user/0

So I went to where you recommended but no snapd.service file:
