Cause

By default, the Perforce Server rejects commands when free space on the filesystems housing the P4ROOT, P4JOURNAL, P4LOG, or TEMP falls below 10 megabytes.

Solution

Use the p4 diskspace command to monitor the disk space, this will display the amount of free space, diskspace used, and total capacity of any filesystem used by Perforce.

To change this behaviour alter the default values (10mb) for filesys.P4ROOT.min, filesys.P4JOURNAL.min, filesys.P4LOG.min, filesys.TEMP.min, filesys.depot.min values, also increase the amount of disk space available on the server.
