## Symptoms

- * The `cpinfo` command fails to complete when the output is directed to `/home/admin` (logical volume: `lv_current`).
* Error messages during cpinfo execution: `No space left on device`  
  `Cannot open file "/tmp/diagnostics/cpinfo/cpinfoDataFilesSize.csv" in mode: w/a+`  
  `WARNING: Disk space on partitionPath '/' is critically low. Currently free disk space: 0.00%`
* The cpinfo command runs successfully when the output is directed to `/var/log`.

## Cause

The cpinfo utility requires significant temporary disk space in the `/tmp` directory and the target output directory during its data collection and compression phase.  

When writing the cpinfo file to `/home/admin` (`lv_current`), the available space, although reported as \~GB free, could be insufficient for both the temporary files and the final compressed output.   

The cpinfo process involves a sudden spike in disk usage during compression, which can exhaust available space rapidly. The error messages and failed file operations were results of insufficient free space in the target and temporary directories.
