Scheduled task "database or disk is full" error - is server disk full?

Yesterday I started getting this error (django.db.utils.OperationalError: database or disk is full) when my scheduled task saves a django object. I have plenty of free disk space. The scheduled task has been running without problems prior to this. Also, I am able to run the same task from the console without any problems.

This makes me think it might be a similar problem to this one from 2015 (https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/1949/):

I'm also getting an SQLite error: "sqlite3.OperationalError: database or disk is full". I still have lots of space left in my account. Apparently this happens when /tmp or /var/tmp is full or not writable: https://recursiveramblings.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/working-around-sqlite3-operationalerror-database-or-disk-is-full/

This was found to be due to a web server partition being full. Given that my task works when run from the console, I'm thinking this may be the issue for me as well?

Thanks

Investigating now. Thanks for the headsup!

identified the problem. you should not be seeing the same error again.

It works. Thanks for fixing it so quickly!
