I have 2 TB of space in iCloud, of which I have used less than 75 GB. I have some video data stored on a 256 GB SD card that I am trying to copy from the SD card to iCloud using my MacBook Air under Ventura 13.4.1 using an SD card adapter.
No matter what I do (Desktop and Finder, or command line) I keep on getting error messages like the following (e.g. when doing
cp -R
):
cp: /Volumes/Insta360/DCIM/Camera01//VID_20230801_153704_00_015.insv: No space left on device
df -m
provides the following information:
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/dev/disk3s5 233752 218627 21 100% 1834742 217200 89% /System/Volumes/Data
/dev/disk4s1 243952 116461 127490 48% 465847 509961 48% /Volumes/Insta360
It seems to me that cp -R
is trying to copy the files to /System/Volumes/Data
before sending them to iCloud, and /System/Volumes/Data
appears to have run out of nodes.
I don't understand why this is, and I don't know how to get around it. Can anyone please tell me how to copy files directly from an external disk (specifically an SD card) to iCloud?
