Description

Research direction

Start with the reported error path, /home/jascha/.local/share/keybase/keybase.leveldb/000430.log, and the code that commits the Merkle root to the local DB. Investigate why Keybase reports no space left despite available hard-drive space. Done means identifying the cause and documenting or fixing the resulting error behavior.
