Re: csplit reports No space left on device

[Michael Cook]

The relevant failure is here:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "zz_000017876563", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1
ENOSPC (No space left on device)

The failed syscalls regarding LC_MESSAGES are when the code is trying to
generate an error message regarding the failed openat call. They aren't the
cause of the actual problem you're investigating.
