The cause of the "out of space" error message on your host is:

C. The inode limit is exceeded in the ONTAP software.

Even though the FlexGroup volume has available space, the inode limit (maximum number of files) might have been reached, causing the "out of space" error. This can happen especially when adding millions of files to a volume.
