Cargo treats lack of disk space as "spurious network error"

[glandium]

Problem

While updating .cargo/git/checkouts, if disk space runs out, cargo handles the situation as if there was a network error, and display:

warning: spurious network error (3 tries remaining): cannot extend packfile '...': Not enough disk space; class=Os (2)

Steps

No response

Possible Solution(s)

No response

Notes

Errors that are not related to the network shouldn't be treated as network errors.

Version

1.83.0

Cargo already checked specific error types here. The error message could be rephrased to a general one, like "spurious error". The downside of this is we may lose connections to old issues / stackoverlow questsions.People searching for the new message may not find old issues.

Or, we can have more specific error messages for each case, and leave the old message for real networking issues.

In addition, the current retry mechanism doesn't say what it is retrying. Perhaps the API should require caller to provide a status message so Cargo then displays it like "retrying download X"
