no space left on device

Make space on the device, or use OLLAMA_MODELS to store the models on a device with space.

Maybe the Linux installer could use /home/ollama instead of the "root" virtual volume which saturates on all Linux distributions anyway?
Wild guess is that almost everybody has to create /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/override.conf with:

[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_MODELS=/home/ollama/"
Environment="OLLAMA_NO_CLOUD=1"
Environment="OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1"
Environment="OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0"
Environment="OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=10m"
SyslogIdentifier=ollama
