"Error using parpool no space left on device" -- even when there is enough space.

When I attempt to run my code, it immidiately fails with the warning:

```

Error using parpool (line 133)

No space left on device

Error in testing (line 39)

parpool(2)

```

Even though I have more than enough space available in my tmp folder and storage (>1TB).

What might be the cause of this error?

Hi @matlabgod,

Could you share the script for further investigation? This error generally occurs when the "tmp" folder used by MATLAB is full, or you might have reached the inode limit. You can check this with the "df -i" command. Here is a useful discussion on a similar issue:

If the default directory is causing issues, you can change the temporary directory using the tempdir function in MATLAB https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/Space Waves/answers/475072-why-do-i-see-a-matlab-error-using-xlsread-about-no-space-left-on-device-with-linux-os
