Hi,

I’m not sure where the issue lies with this so apologies if its not Ansible related.

I have a EC2 instance that i’m provisioning with Ansible.

Hitting

fatal: [[ec2-5xxxxx5-33.compute-1.amazonaws.com](http://ec2-5xxxxx5-33.compute-1.amazonaws.com)] =\> SSH Error: muxserver\_listen bind(): Disk quota exceeded  
while connecting to 52.5.xxxxx3:22  
It is sometimes useful to re-run the command using -vvvv, which prints SSH debug output to help diagnose the issue.

Adding -vvvv doesn’t add anything. The instance doesn’t have quotas and has plenty of disk

df -h  
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on  
/dev/xvda1 7.8G 1.5G 6.0G 20% /  
tmpfs 15G 0 15G 0% /dev/shm  
/dev/xvdg 40G 7.3G 30G 20% /opt

I can ssh to the machine fine. Its only when trying to run Ansible. (v 1.9.1)

Anybody seen this before? I can’t find anything on the internet to help

Many thanks

James

Couldn’t see the wood for the trees… Was my local quota. Not the instance… nothing to see here
