The error you reported means "I have run out of free space on a disk.".

SQLite makes temporary files while you use it.  If you use some APIs these 
temporary files go in the same folder as the database.  If you use other APIs 
these temporary files go on the boot disk.

On some operating systems the OS demands to have a lot of space free space on 
the boot disk so it has space to do its own things.  So if you are using a 
database on a different disk it would complain only if free space was zero, but 
if you are using a database on a boot disk it might refuse to give you any more 
disk space if it has less than, perhaps, 10 Gigabytes free.  This is not a 
function of SQLite, it's the way the operating system works.
