Introduction

When you encounter the "ENOSPC: no space left" error or disk space issues in Eagle, there are several solutions you can try. This article covers various approaches to resolve disk space problems and ensure your Eagle library runs smoothly.

Solution 1: Check if Your Hard Drive Uses FAT32 Format

FAT32 is an older file system with limitations on individual file sizes and the number of files per folder. Its performance is also inferior to modern file systems. If you need to store large files or use advanced features, consider switching to other file systems such as NTFS (Windows), APFS or HFS+ (macOS).

Solution 2: Check the "Allocation Unit Size" Setting (Windows Only)

The "Allocation Unit Size" is the smallest unit that makes up each file. Larger units provide faster reading speeds but waste more space.
