Need to solve: Error processing tar file no space left on device

I did take a look at the docker.log during the failure and this is the last few lines of the output:

I assume the tar file being referred to in the message “Error processing tar file” is the one in the message which says:

Applying tar in /var/lib/docker/overlay2/ac815fc2ee2f5d0d3dda31556450ef99c90c092aacc7e08ddc4ad1a1207893d3/diff" storage-driver=overlay2

So, this tar file is apparently to small for the data I am processing. How can I increase the size of it?
