Error During GitLab Update (16.11.2 -> 17.0.1): Insufficient Disk Space
-
I encountered an error while updating GitLab from version 16.11.2 to 17.0.1. The error message is:
An error occurred during the update operation: FileSystem Error: failed to register layer: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): write /home/git/gitaly/_build/intermediate/praefect: no space left on device

Although I've verified sufficient space on the server and for services, the error suggests the disk might be full. It's important to note that this is a new configuration and doesn't currently contain any repositories.


Please advise anyone who has encountered this issue, how to proceed with the given the limited disk space.

@arshsahzad The disk usage stats are not update "live". You can check on the server directly using 'df -h` and check the root fs (assuming docker is in the same disk as the root file system).
If there is space, then you can just app -> recovery -> repair and it should come back up.

Hi @girish,
I checked the server earlier, and there is already 11GB of available storage left on the EC2 instance.

Also tried this method but It doesn't seems working
