Cannot install packages - `no space left on device (ENOSPC)`

General Usage
1

Hello, I recently installed Julia 1.6.2 on my remote machine, added julia to PATH, it works.
Then I wanted to add some packages (like Plots, Makie, Flux, Franklin), and everytime I do

add PackageName

I get the following:

(@v1.6) pkg> add Franklin

It’s not always NodeJS, for instance when installing Plots I get a

Error when installing package Xorg_libxkbfile_jll

I have space on the disk. Any ideas on this problem ?

Foolish question, but: Are you sure you’re not trying to install it on a partition or subdisk ? If not, is the drive maybe mounted as read only?

3

I am trying to install it on a remote ssh server. I have access to the /users/data/myname/ directory on which I put the julia-1.6.2 directory, whose permissions are drwxr-xr-x.

4

Are there quotas in place on that filesystem?

5

I don’t exactly know. I work on various projects on this machine with Python3 and many packages, and I never had this problem.
How can I tell if there are quotas ?

6

Try just running quota
I see the problem is with libuv - maybe this is specific to Nodejs/libuv

What happens when you do this by hand
mkdir /users/data/myname/.julia/packages/NodeJS

Ok I’m quite confused : I just discovered that I had an experiment running and a bug caused some files to be not deleted - that was what took all the place.

That being said, I still cannot install the packages, I get

Unable to automatically install ‘assets’ from ‘/users/data/coste/.julia/packages/Makie/xbI6d/Artifacts.toml’

Shall I open another topic ?
