Maybe `push_to_hub()` is writing some temporary file(s) to `/tmp`, which runs out of space?

Try changing the location for the temporary files by putting `TMPDIR=/mnt/tmp` in front of the command you are running (it seemed that you are working in /mnt, which has much space, but some other location could be better for the temp files). See [TMPDIR - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMPDIR)

Edit: Or actually is the partition that is used by HFH cache filling up? In that case it could be relocated with `HF_HOME` or `HF_HUB_CACHE` envs: [Manage huggingface\_hub cache-system](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/guides/manage-cache#understand-caching)
