Unavailability of Disk Space for Spectre Simulations

Dear All,

I am running an Analog spice simulation in Cadence Virutoso, with the aid of Spectre. The version is IC 23.1 and when running the simulator in Assembler environment, I run into this Disk Space issue:

WARNING (ASSEMBLER-2246): Simulation run 'Interactive.94' in session 'fnxSession0' has been suspended due to the unavailability of space on disk '/home/x3010318/Anu_Cad/UMC65_TEST/tspc_testing_time_det/maestro/results/maestro' to save the results database '/home/x3010318/Anu_Cad/UMC65_TEST/tspc_testing_time_det/maestro/results/maestro/Interactive.94.rdb'. The lower limit of disk quota is 100 MB, whereas the available disk space is 76 MB. It is recommended to clean up the disk space and resume the simulation run.

However in the simulation setup window, I've set a simulation directory/space of a larger capacity. As shown below:

Options -> Save

I am still running into this persistent issue though.

    That location is where the raw (psf) simulation results are saved, but the error message is about the "rdb" which is where the scalar data and simulation setup information is saved. By default, this is saved into the metro view rather than into the simulation directory.

    You can move it elsewhere - this is in the ADE Assembler Results Database Location field just below on the same form.

    Hi, I have setup the directories like this. The issue is persistent unfortunately.
