Files quota exceeded when trying to install Julia on a cluster with juliaup

I’m trying to install Julia on a cluster, running this:

curl -fsSL https://install.julialang.org | sh -s -- --path $JULIAUP_DEPOT_PATH

But I get the following error:

Now installing Juliaup
Error: Failed to extract downloaded file from url `https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/juliaup/bin/juliaup-1.17.19-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz`.

Caused by:
    0: failed to unpack `./julialauncher` into `/ccc/work/cont003/gen15768/username/apps/julia/bin/julialauncher`
    1: Quota exceeded (os error 122)

In this cluster they enforce some limits in terms of number of files, disk storage etc. But I should be well below the quota limits for my user.

Any idea what’s going on? Is juliaup trying to extract a large number of temporary files somewhere?
Anyone encountered this issue before?

Hm, that is weird. I think that is the step where it extracts Juliaup itself, and that should be very small and only something like two files and one symlink or something like that… Could you try to pass a different folder to --path, just to see whether that makes a difference?

Are you sure you are extracting on the correct filesystem? Clusters often have different file systems/partitions with different quotas, e.g. home and scratch.
