CLOSED: Not enough space error
Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2017 6:21 am
Recently I've been getting errors when using Windows 7 to move files from local drives to my amahi shares. The file transfers fail, and I get an error stating the there is not enough space or the file is too large for the system. The specific error text varies depending upon the source, i.e. windows explorer versus teracopy, but they are always related to file size. The file size itself seems to be irrelevant; there doesn't seem to be a definite size threshold like 2GB or 4GB. Sometimes even small files return an error.
Last night I tried to move about 500 GB of varying size video files. When I viewed the results they were all over the place. Files as small as 693MB failed while larger 4.27GB files succeeded. The files were moved continuously as one batch so there would have been very little time for the server to catch up by moving files from the landing zone to pool storage. Below is just a small example of a few files in sequence that don't make sense. Files of the same size both succeeded and failed in quick succession. I have confirmed that I these are not file path length problems.
3.97GB Success
3.97GB Failed - File is too large for this file system
8.59GB Success
3.97GB Success
8.60GB Failed - File is too large for this file system
The rate of failure versus success varied, but not with any apparent reason. There was a stretch of 1.5-1.8GB files in the middle of the batch where nearly all failed, and a few runs where most would succeed, but overall the success rate varied between 40 and 60% from the start to the end of the batch.
The problem also does not seem to be directly related to the files themselves. When I moved the failed files again, many of them moved successfully. Using nothing but files that failed on the first try, I got the same 40-60% success rate.
I have found similar error reports on the forum, but they all traced back to default share locations and a full OS partition. Solutions discussed there don't seem to apply since I have a 2TB disk dedicated to my landing zone. Currently the partition is formatted as EXT4, and only 4% of the drive is in use. The line below is the result of a "df -Th" command via ssh:
dev/sdj1 ext4 1.8T 59G 1.7T 4% /var/hda/files/drives/disklz
I have a pretty large storage pool, and amahi disk stats indicates 23TB free for shares. I know this is shared across all shares, but clearly I should have enough space to transfer a few hundred GB.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
