Bamboo uses 3rd party svnkit library to handle SVN operations. During workspace checkouts/updates it creates spool files in the directory denoted by "java.io.tmpdir" property which by default points to "/tmp". The reason for this problem is having a limited /tmp directory.
Workaround
Stop Bamboo and try to specify a different /tmp directory for Bamboo (server and/or remote agents) on the file system using this option:
1
-Djava.io.tmpdir="/_path_/tmp"You will need to edit the wrapper.conf file, adding a line similar to the following, to change the directory from /tmp to another partition: (The warpper.conf file is located in <bamboo-installation-directory>/conf for the bamboo server. For agents, it's under <bamboo-agent-home>/conf).
1
wrapper.java.additional.4=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/atlassian/tmpdirIf Bamboo is hosted on Tomcat, you can add or configure the parameters in the ./bin/setenv.sh (Or setenv.bat) file: Configuring Bamboo on start-up.
