Torrent stalled, error: There is not enough space on the disk...but there's plenty #5190

I am at a loss here. I suppose it's related to my use of a NAS and running qBittorrent on a computer other than the NAS, but I still just can't figure this out.

I'm using unRAID, which does not use striping, but instead saves entire files to individual disks and has a dedicated parity drive with a single drive failure tolerance, and "groups" them all up as one single large disk. If the parity drive dies, it can rebuild the parity drive from all the files, if a file drive dies, it can rebuild that from parity, and disks are not constantly spinning so in theory at least(?) it would be less likely that they die at the same time.

At any rate, I thought that maybe one of the disks was full and it was causing this error, however, every single disk's free space is vastly greater than the entire size of the torrent that I'm downloading...which really leaves me clueless shrugs. I don't have time to do any more tests right now, but when I get back home, I'll try to think of some things to try and hopefully a get some good suggestions here :P

Thank you for any and all help!

Nevermind, I figured it out. It saves to a cache drive first before anything and my cache drive WAS out of space. I suppose I'm off to find a couple of larger cache drives then!

So if you're using unRAID and you get this error, your cache drive is very likely full!

(sorry, this was not a qBittorrent issue at all, but I wasn't sure at the time. Still useful information as someone else may find themselves in this very same boat!)
