- Insufficient Space In Download Directory /var/cache/yum/updates/packages
- Windows 10 Update Insufficient Space
- Insufficient Space In Download Directory /var/cache/yum/updates/packages
- The cachedir specifies the directory where yum stores downloaded packages, although with keepcache set to 0, yum does not store these packages after installing them. Consider a case where the /var filesystem where yum cache is located is full and there is no diskspace for yum to download the system updates.
- Each service requires a certain amount of temporary space to store files / mail and logs.so this can quickly fill up. For example your /var/spool directory is 510MB which is mail awaiting processing. You mentioned that you applied updates.have you tried restarting the following services? Service postfix restart service amavisd restart.

It seems like your rootfs (/) is at 100%! Try cleaning it up first, maybe try yum clean all.

You're out of space. Free up some or get a bigger disk.
