Hi
Just create an new code-server and if you have big files like
node_modulesand the project is running somewhere else,It will return this

@ItzMiracleOwO is the output of
df -iin the terminal? are you running code-server in docker in Synology DSM?YueMiyuki commentedon Jan 25, 2022

Hmm...I guess this is specific to Linux. I couldn't reproduce locally on macOS.
I'm seeing the "permission denied" errors in your logs. Sounds like that solution isn't working.
To me, this seems like an issue specific to your environment and not a bug in code-server. Do you agree? (Still willing to help but want to clarify and see if we're on the same page)
YueMiyuki commentedon Jan 26, 2022
Hmm I do agree
Synology have lots of stupid issues and their docker version is ancient…
What is interesting is, before when I was in older version, this error didnt pop up..

Hmm...well things definitely changed in code-server between versions so not ruling that out, but at least we agree. Let's move this to a Q and A then and continue there.
