To address the ‘Insufficient Disk Space for MongoDB on Rocky Linux’ error, first, determine the root cause of the issue by checking the available disk space on your Rocky Linux system using the ‘df -h’ command. This will provide information on disk usage and available space for each mounted file system. Next, remove unnecessary files and directories that are consuming disk space. Additionally, verify the MongoDB data directory and ensure it has adequate space to store database files. You can find the data directory location in the MongoDB configuration file. If the current data directory lacks sufficient space, consider moving the MongoDB data to a different location with more available disk space. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to resize the disk partition, which involves resizing the file system and extending the partition size. Remember to backup your data and seek guidance from a system administrator or refer to specific instructions for your environment. Finally, it is crucial to monitor disk space regularly to avoid future occurrences. Set up alerts or utilize monitoring tools to receive notifications when disk usage reaches critical levels.
