CTSS uses the phrase "no room" in its source code. As best I can tell,
files were pre-allocated at create time to a given size, and space was
counted against a quota set on the system. Disk space was much more
scarce back then.
I suspect "no space" is a multics innovation. Presumably "room" was
too "east-coast"ish.
