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.

device_maps
device_maps(4) File Formats device_maps(4)
NAME
device_maps - device_maps file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/device_maps
DESCRIPTION
The device_maps file contains access control information about each physical device. Each device is represented by a one line entry of the
form:
device-name : device-type : device-list :
where
device-name This is an arbitrary ASCII string naming the physical device. This field contains no embedded white space or non-
printable characters.
device-type This is an arbitrary ASCII string naming the generic device type. This field identifies and groups together devices
of like type. This field contains no embedded white space or non-printable characters.
device-list This is a list of the device special files associated with the physical device. This field contains valid device
special file path names separated by white space.
The device_maps file is an ASCII file that resides in the /etc/security directory.
Lines in device_maps can end with a `' to continue an entry on the next line.
Comments may also be included. A `#' makes a comment of all further text until the next NEWLINE not immediately preceded by a `'.
Leading and trailing blanks are allowed in any of the fields.
The device_maps file must be created by the system administrator before device allocation is enabled.
This file is owned by root, with a group of sys, and a mode of 0644.
