This issue occurs if there is insufficient disk space left on the drive or the partition where the Spotfire Server is installed. For example, in Windows you can view the drive space in File Explorer and in Linux you can use the below command to check the disk space:

df -k

To resolve this issue, free up space on the disk or partition used by the Spotfire Server by removing unnecessary content and consider adding more disk space to the drive or the partition.
