No space left on device

[jozuleta]

Hi guys,

I got this message in my LOG when trying to do a regression:

Out of space writing to file /tmp/SAS_work0103000008CE_localhost.localdomain/#LN00048.

How to clean the temp folder?!

I am using SAS Studio UE.

SAS UE does have limited space, so you can run out of memory. You can increase your RAM (which is likely needed in this case) in Oracle VirtualBox. There is no limit on RAM but there is for cores.
Additionally, you can redirect the work library.

This is what I first tried but did not work (I searched for similar posts). After reinstalling it again and again it worked. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It'll happen again if you don't change the settings though 😞

I increased the RAM and changed in the Edit Auto Exec. the folder ( libname new '/folders/myfolders/temp/'; ). Anything else I should to in order to prevent that it happens again?
