What does this mean in SVN?

Question

svn up
svn: Error writing to '.'
svn: Can't write to file '.svn/tmp/entries': No space left on device

If my box is out of hard drive space, that is impossible, becauase it has 620GB of HD.

Answer 1

You probably don't have space on the disk where is the svn tree. What is output of df . in that directory?

Answer 2

Maybe your hard disk is partitioned. Check the partition that svn is trying to write on for the amount of available space.

If you are 100% sure you have space left, try quota to see whether you have exceeded the quota for your user account.

Answer 3

That may be, but how is your drive partitioned and what folders mount where on your paratitions. Do a "df -h" at the command line to see... and then decide.
