Hi,

For some reason I keep getting a "Disk Full" error (see attached screenshot) in Lazarus this morning.

I have two hard drives in my system. One has 51GB free, and the other has 2.8TB free. So I am definitely NOT out of disk space.

The error occurs at different times, but not consistent. For example:
- When I open a project (even a simple console only project)
- When I Ctrl+Click to navigate.

I haven't updated my lazarus in recent days. My system has been running 24/7 for the last 38 days, and there are no issues with my system otherwise. I've restarted Lazarus, checked for any runaway Lazarus, FPC or GDB processes. Everything seems fine.

I'm using Lazarus 1.5 r48878 FPC 2.6.4 x86_64-freebsd-gtk 2

Why would Lazarus report such an issue? And where does it do such a disk check?

Regards,

AFAIK, that message comes from fpc. Seen many times but only when rebuilding some project (yes, there's enough free space on disk), never spotted it with your examples.

How can it? I get the error at a time when I'm not compiling a project. Simply opening or navigating a project - that is all Lazarus IDE right?

To be more exact, this message comes from the fpc RTL file handling routines, called by the Lazarus IDE.
Basically Lazarus IDE asks to open a file for write, or attempts to write to an open file, the OS rises a "Disk full" exception and the file handling routines just returns the error. Or the file handling routine misinterprets as a "Disk full" another exception, such as not having the appropriate rights for the directory/file involved, and returns a misleading message :-(

Normally IDE error messages contain more than just E.Message. Maybe this is from an unhandled exception.
Can you reproduce it an create a stack trace?
