dev container failed to build due to a "no space left on device" error #49
Description
Hi Support.
I have tried to use this codespace but I could not do it because it cannot be started.
When it opens in VS Code (Web), this is the information shown about the problem:
I provided the creation.log to GitHub Copilot Chat. It analyzed it and produced the following root cause analysis:
Your dev container failed to build due to a "no space left on device" error, specifically when trying to write to a Python package directory. This means the disk or Docker storage ran out of space during the build process. After this failure, a recovery container was created and started successfully.
Summary:
The initial container build failed due to insufficient disk space.
The system then created a recovery container, which started successfully.
Your codespace is now running in this recovery container.
To resolve this in the future:Free up disk space on your host or codespace (delete unused files, images, or containers).
If you control the devcontainer config, try to minimize installed dependencies.
If you need to check or clean up disk space, let me know and I can guide you through the process.
