Looks like the first problem is

this means the disk is full.

  • login to the host
  • run: df -h
  • what is shown ?

I have an SSD w 256GB… enough space left…

Hi have you confirmed permissions on overlay3 /var/log
Make sure the account running openhab has read write access
But looking at your screen shot you have 100% used for overlay3 0 available
same for /dev/zram3 100% used 0 available. so the message is correct no space available for that mount
Yes you do have free space 220Gig but it is allocated to root??? so that is where all you free space resides. Just nothing left to allocate to var unfortunately without playing with partitions…

/var/log on overlay3 which is related to /dev/zram3 is filled up to 100%.
That is the space that prevents from anything to be added to log files.
Cleanup files on that area or resize it or remove zram on SSD. Check what is being logged it may be an option to reduce the amount to be logged.

Thanks, I’ve deactivated zram and afterwards it was successful.
