Hello,
I am using PureDisk to backup a RHEL 5 server. When the backup job runs, it terminates at 2% completion with the error:
Error: 28: Could not write line to file: No space left on device
*** Error Message ***
spa.agentprogress.2140
severity: 6
server: 15
source: PrepareBackup_PrepareBackup
description:
Command '"/opt/pdag/bin/PLsort" -f "/opt/pdag/var/srd/15/current/SnapshotPOList.po" -r "/opt/pdag/var/srd/15/current/SnapshotPOList.po" --detect=directory,fileName -v --config="/etc/puredisk/Agent.cfg" --tempdir="/opt/pdag/tmp"' unexpectedly terminated with exit status 1 ()
*** End ***
I can see that it is writing a large file, SnapshotPOList.po, I have checked this file and it gets to about 358MB big before the job fails. There is plenty of free space available in /opt/pdag/var/srd/15/current - there is 17GB free.
Any ideas on what is causing this, or how I can turn on the logging to see what's going wrong?
Many thanks.
Richard.

Please paste some more logs.
If a job fails on 2% it probalby means that the source disk is full and no snapshoting is possible. You may try disabling the "Use Snaphoting" option in backup policy.
Good luck,
Michał
