Diagnosis

Environment

  • Database: Microsoft SQL Server Database

Cause

  1. Database Server is running out of disk space.
  2. The size of configured primary filegroup had grown in size and hit the limit.
  3. You have hit the maximum DB size (SQL Server Express version 2008 and earlier had the limitation of 4GB maximum Database size).

Resolution

 Since this error is related to the Database itself, please contact your Database Admin as this issue is beyond our Atlassian Support Offerings and our area of expertise.

Alternatively, you may try to allocate additional disk storage to your Database or follow the steps provided in one of these Database forums' threads at your own risk to resolve the issue:
