Research direction

Start with the enroot import command and its image-extraction path, using the supplied trace to investigate which filesystem or quota receives temporary writes. Reproduce the import with filesystem and inode availability checks; done means identifying why the reported storage limit is reached and documenting a confirmed remedy.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I try to run enroot import, I get plenty of "No space left" errors. However I got a lot of free storage.

Here is the trace (from vdi)

$sudo enroot import -o nccl-bisection-1.sqsh dockerd://<container_uri>

It continues like this for hundreds of lines
