AWS CodeBuild Failed with Error: no space left on device

Question

Hi,

Our codebuild project failed to execute with the error: no space left on device.
It was working fine for a long time. Just happened with this error a couple days ago!
```
------
ERROR: failed to solve: failed to register layer: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): write /opt/jboss/wildfly/modules/system/layers/base/org/jctools/main/jctools-core-2.1.2.jar: no space left on device
```

I added the command "df -h" to check the disk usage, I got the following result:
```
[Container] 2024/05/24 07:58:41.941881 Running command df -h

tmpfs           7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/firmware
```
I don't believe I used 94GB of disk space to build a WildFly based docker image!

What went wrong?
Please help!

Thanks a lot!

Hello.

Although this is a temporary solution, I thought that if I set a large size of computing to the Codebuild build, the disk capacity would increase, so I could avoid the error.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/build-env-ref-compute-types.html

Are you using local cache with Codebuild?  
This is just my prediction, but I thought that when using local cache, past data may remain and take up space on the disk.  
https://aws.amazon.com/jp/blogs/devops/improve-build-performance-and-save-time-using-local-caching-in-aws-codebuild/

I think there is a possibility that the Inode is being used up, so try running the following command before building to erase the data.  
```
docker exec front df -i
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
```
