Nokia shouldn't be telling you to send it in... you get that if you've somehow managed to completely fill your root storage space. This can happen, for example, if you've been messing with software from Extras-devel (hence the "-devel" label :P). Reboot the phone, and then try uninstalling some things. You can check how much is free from the terminal by running the "df -h" command. The line you're looking for is the one that says '/' in the "mounted on" column. There are easier ways to check, but they involve installing more programs, which would be counterproductive if not impossible at this point.

ive managed to get rid off these messages by removing the .modest folder under /home/user and running the following script /etc/osso-cud-scripts/modest-clean.sh

it seems to have solved my problems

your rootfs is full

You need to clear up room on your rootfs to get it back to normal.

Please search trhe wiki pages for rootfs - as there is a whole page dedicated to this problem.

(Start by disabling the catalogues extras devel and extras testing) - as that will save you a little bit to start

/dev/mmcblk0p1           27.0G      1.3G     25.7G   5% /home/user/MyDocs

This solved the issue in my case, seems that if the rootfs is 100%
you will get the error.

I had that..
I got angry and just format entire thing (eMMC and flash) and just installed only what I need and don't play too much with extras-devel (something in there got me).

Thanks fatalsaint! But not all of them are on the same topic although they have the same solution.

Merged 6 threads into this one. Maybe it is time for some FAQ polishing.
