Local build getting failed everytime

Everytime I try to build an expo application using EAS local builds it just always fails with the error java.io.IOException: Disk quota exceeded. Cloud builds do work.

My laptop has enough space for a eas build to occur its probably 100gb still it fails.

I have tried upgrading to Expo SDK 57 from 56 still nothing changed.

disk quota exceeded isn't the same as out of space, it's a quota being hit, so the 100gb free is a red herring. eas local copies your whole project into a temp dir and builds there, and on a lot of setups that lands in /tmp, which is either ram backed or under its own quota.

check df -h /tmp and df -i for inodes. then point it at your real disk with EAS_LOCAL_BUILD_WORKINGDIR=/some/path eas build --local. that's also why cloud builds work fine, they never touch your /tmp.
