I'm trying to use rsync to transfer nearly 4GB of files onto a remote server that is supposed to be 20GB big.
On my computer, I run rsync -av --ignore-existing --inplace my_directory --compress-level=9 root@REMOTE.IP.ADDRESS:~/
The terminal prints a bunch of files being copies successfully for a while, then it prints this error.
rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/path/to/some/directory" failed: No space left on device (28)
I ssh into my remote server. I run df -h. I see this (removed unneeded text).
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 20G 5.8G 13G 32% /
devtmpfs 488M 4.0K 488M 1% /dev
I clearly have space on my remote server. Also, when I ssh into my remote server and run touch test, A file names test is created. But when I run touch test2 after that, I get this error: touch: cannot touch ‘test2’: No space left on device.
How do I transfer the rest of my folders and files to a remote server that claims it has no more space despite having space?
Update
Running df -i shows this.
