Cannot ssh into GCP instance












0















I cannot ssh into Google compute engine instance. Here is scenario.




  • I tried to ssh into an instance from ubuntu ssh client, so generated a private & public key in my local and added pubkey to metadata.


  • But got Permission denied (publickey) error message and the instance console was saying No space left on device


  • I then increased the size of the instance by 100GB more and then restart the instance.



  • After few mins later, tried to ssh into the instance again and getting the Permission denied (publickey) error again and the console said No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', '/']



    Now I can't connect to the instance by any tool such as browser console, ssh client etc.




Is there any solution to address this problem?



Thanks in advance.

  • It sounds like you filled up your disk, and now stuff that needs to make new files is failing. Making it larger doesn't help automatically, you still need to grow the partition and expand the filesystem to use the new disk space. There are instructions for this here. You will also likely need to use the serial console since SSH doesn't have space to run.

As Dan mentioned, you need to connect on serial console to expand the filesystem making use of the additional disk space allocated. You can also attempt to free up some space etc.
