Critical error when stopping a site, now Local has completely stopped working

While stopping a site earlier today, Local got stuck, so I checked the log and saw this:

Now after multiple attempts to restart Local, it refuses to start and I can’t access any of my sites. Here’s what I see in the log:

Is there anything I can do to get Local started again? I’m currently stuck without access to any of my sites at all.

Simon,

It looks like the VM may be out of space. How many sites do you have in Local? Do any have large databases?

Please see Unable to connect to database on any site previously working working without issue for instructions on how to increase the VM disk size. As of April 2017, Local defaults the VM disk size to 120GB. If you installed prior to that, the disk size max will be 20GB.

Hi Clay

I’ve got about 15 sites in there and one of them has a very large database, so that does look like the cause of the problem.

I’ve run the bash script and now following the instructions in there, I’ve got as far as adding the GParted ISO, but I’m not sure what the next two lines mean?

Add your VDI to the SATA controller as Harddisk
Remove the VMDK partition
