<p>I am working on starting minikube locally with the command <code>minikube start</code> and the system responds with the error shown in the picture. I have emptied almost all of my <code>/var</code> files in my local machine and I still encounter errors.</p>
<p>I have consumed some links online but still to no avail. Please help with how this can be sorted.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Minikube has a default disk size and a minimum disk size that you might be able to leverage in order to save space, you can have a look <a href="https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> for this information</p>
<pre><code>2 CPUs or more
2GB of free memory
20GB of free disk space
</code></pre>
<p>At the same time you can change the disk that docker is going to use for storing data with something like:</p>
<pre><code>minikube start --disk-size=20g --docker-opt=&quot;--data-root /mnt/sdX&quot;
</code></pre>
<p>But you need another disk or partition with free space for that to work, from your updated info, /dev/sdb2 is full so you need another partition with free space on /dev/sdb or a new disk to be attached to the server, let's say /dev/sdc or something like that with free space.
Or increase the size of your /var FS</p>
<p>Another thing that you can do is reconfigure docker in order for it to avoid using the default /var/lib/docker path for data and configure it to another fs with more space available, you might like to have a look at the following <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/#daemon-configuration-file" rel="nofollow noreferrer">document</a> for more details:</p>
