I am trying to push my changes to a Remote Git Repo and I am receiving the following message:

remote: error: unable to create temporary file: No space left on device[K
remote: fatal: failed to write object[K
error: unpack failed: unpack-objects abnormal exit

Contrary to the message that there is no space left on the remote server, there is plenty of space remaining.

Any help resolving this problem would be appreciated.

Edit #1: I tried using the command git repack remote/origin/master and git repack I am still receiving this error after using these commands.

Edit #2: After accessing the remote server and using the chmod -R 755 command on the .git file the same error persists.

Edit #3: Another developer is having the same issue while trying to push to remote server. Are there any server side fixes that could be applied?

Note:This did not happen until I resolved a previous local merge conflict

  • @Makoto I found that article and it was of no help, if you notice my edit #1: I tried the "fix" which is present at that link. – Douglas Tober Feb 23 '15 at 23:22
  • Have you looked at the other answers? There is more than one solution there. – Makoto Feb 23 '15 at 23:23
  • @Makoto Yes, I have tried to fix the problem by accessing the server and using the `chmod -R 755` command on the .git file. The result is the same error. – Douglas Tober Feb 23 '15 at 23:32
  • All things considered, permissions aren't going to help you if your disk is full - which is what Git seems to be telling you. There *is* another solution in the previous answer which mentions that you should look to do some cleanup on the server's disk. – Makoto Feb 23 '15 at 23:33
  • @Makoto The server has over 400GB of available space. – Douglas Tober Feb 23 '15 at 23:35

Check to make sure that the server isn't full. You can run the following command on Linux to see size of the filesystem:

df -h

If you don't have any space left you either have to do some cleanup or add more space. If it's a physical machine you would probably need more hard drive space, or if it's a virtual machine you can add more pretty easily.

After you add more space use Gparted to re-size your partition, then, once that's done you can follow this link to re-size the file system: Extending partition on linux gparted but not more space in the vm

  • That worked like a charm, the VM storage was increased using GParted but it didn't take. After following the link and using those steps it works like a charm. Thank you! – Douglas Tober Feb 25 '15 at 23:28
