I have a Docker container stored in Elastic Container Registry which has a size of 8393.29(MB) according to ECR. My issue is that whenever I create a task definition, then a service to finally launch the task to pull and run this container, the task remains in the pending status for some minutes and then stops with this message:
CannotPullContainerError: ref pull has been retried 1 time(s): failed to extract layer sha256:8a8b75c9ef4bfdc6c33f2920198630f7a44669323d53bcb197b1c0269d7f0bfc: write /var/lib/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.overlayfs/snapshots/244/fs/text_models/src/topic_modeling/linkend_words/pytorch_weights.tar.gz: no space left on device: unknown
I’ve searched around the internet and tried some things like incrementing the Task vCPU and Memory but have not found what exactly could be the issue here. Seems like there’s no space left for that file called pytorch_weights.tar.gz. Thanks for any suggestions.
>Solution :
"No space left on device" is referring to disk volume space, not CPU or RAM. Try increasing the ephemeral storage space allocated to your Fargate tasks.
