I'm unable to reproduce this behavior using a clean version of galaxy-dist. The code (export_history.py) doesn't create any temporary files and appears to write directly to the output file, so it seems unlikely that Galaxy is writing anything to the root directory. Can you provide the name of any file that Galaxy appears to be writing to outside of <galaxy-home>? What about watching the job output file/export file to see if that's increasingly in size and causing the out-of-space error? Best, J. On Mar 19, 2013, at 10:56 AM, Joachim Jacob | VIB | wrote:

Hi all,

Exporting histories fails on our server: " Reason: *Error reading from remote server".

*When looking at the logs and the system: tail /var/log/messages Mar 19 15:52:47 galaxy abrt[25605]: Write error: No space left on device Mar 19 15:52:49 galaxy abrt[25605]: Error writing '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2013-03-19-15:52:37-13394.new/coredump'

So I watched my system when I repeated the export, and saw that Galaxy fills up the root directory (/), instead of any temporary directory.

Somebody has an idea where to adjust this setting, so the export function uses any temporary directory?

Thanks, Joachim
