Plugin error from demux: No space left on device.

Hello, I’m a new user of Qiime2. Please I’d like some help. I was trying to analyze some NGS data, but when running demux plugin:

$ qiime demux emp-paired --m-barcodes-file metafood.tsv --m-barcodes-column BarcodeSequence --p-no-golay-error-correction --i-seqs ncbi-pairend-seqs.qza --o-per-sample-sequences demux-ncbi.qza --o-error-correction-details demux-details-ncbi.qza

it stops after 30 minutes, and shows the error:

Plugin error from demux:
could not write to ‘/tmp/qiime2-archive-f6vjw_9f/98154bea-d272-4029-bc9a-4cc772f456a7/data/ggEDEJ046_159_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz’: No space left on device

I did a native installation on my Linux. I have a core i7 laptop with 16 gb ram. My error log file:

Traceback (most recent call last):

fdst.write(buf)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi!
Looks that you don’t have enough of space/storage on your drive.
Try to free some space or import tmp directory to another drive with more capacity
