This bug occurs when the storage miner can't acquire the `bellman.lock`. To fix it you need to stop the `lotus-storage-miner` and remove `/tmp/bellman.lock`

## Running out of storage

If you see this, that means `pledge-sector` wrote too much data to `$TMPDIR` which by default is the root partition (This is common for Linux setups). Usually your root partition does not get the largest partition of storage so you will need to change the environment variable to something else.
