no space left on device
This seems like it would be a common question, but I didn't find much that helped in a search...
I have a script scheduled in my crontab that outputs to /dev/null
ie: /dir/scripts/script1 > /dev/null
I have recently started getting the error:
cp /dir1/dir2/file.xls: No space left on device
Does this mean there is no space left on /dev/null, or the device I am copying to?
Thanks in advance, I apologize for the basic question, but my lack of hands on experience makes it just out of my reach.

bus_child_present
BUS_CHILD_PRESENT(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual BUS_CHILD_PRESENT(9)
NAME
bus_child_present -- ask the bus driver to see if this device is still really present
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/bus.h>
#include <machine/bus.h>
#include <sys/rman.h>
#include <machine/resource.h>
int
bus_child_present(device_t dev);
DESCRIPTION
The bus_child_present() function requests that the parent device driver of dev check to see if the hardware represented by dev is still phys-
ically accessible at this time. While the notion of accessible varies from bus to bus, generally hardware that is not accessible cannot be
accessed via the bus_space*() methods that would otherwise be used to access the device.
This does not ask the question ``does this device have children?'' which can better be answered by device_get_children(9).
RETURN VALUES
A zero return value indicates that the device is not present in the system. A non-zero return value indicates that the device is present in
the system, or that the state of the device cannot be determined.
EXAMPLES
This is some example code. It only calls stop when the dc(4) device is actually present.
device_t dev;
dc_softc *sc;
sc = device_get_softc(dev);
if (bus_child_present(dev))
dc_stop(sc);
