Is it possible to increase the amount of disk space allowed to Guest account?

EDIT

df -h gives the following output:

guest-S9srd9@embsys:~/Desktop$ df -h

df -i gives the following output:

    There should be no restrictions on Guest-accounts disk space, except the size of the disk hosting the guest users home directory. – Soren A Feb 16 '18 at 12:54
  • I get write error (disk full?) although there is enough free space in disk. – yildizabdullah Feb 16 '18 at 13:02

    Could you update the question with df -h and df -i done from a terminal in the guest account? And check in /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog is ther are entries with disk errors. – Soren A Feb 16 '18 at 13:05
  • @SorenA Please check the updated question. I added what you want to see. – yildizabdullah Feb 16 '18 at 13:46
  • @yildizabdullah the notice is not claiming the disk is full. It is a suggestion based on the fact there is a "write error". The way you word this question you make assumptions about the cause; please do not do that cuz it will have people searching for sollutions you do not need ;-) That could also be a broken disk. write error (disk full?) should have been in the question. Plus also the -when- do you get this notice? If it happens during unpacking the archive is likely corrupt (so failing a basic crc check). – Rinzwind Feb 16 '18 at 14:12
  • In other words: we can answer the "Is it possible to increase the amount of disk space allowed to Guest account?" but it is not going to fix your problem. – Rinzwind Feb 16 '18 at 14:15
  • @Rinzwind I get write error (disk full?) while I am trying to extract an archive file. The archive file is not corrupted since I can extract it on another machine. – yildizabdullah Feb 16 '18 at 14:54
  • Are you tryinh to unpack in your home directory, on the 8GB USB (/media/guest-S9srd9/8GB) or .. ? Try to copy the archive file to your home directory and unpack it there. – Soren A Feb 16 '18 at 18:02
  • @SorenA I did it already. – yildizabdullah Feb 16 '18 at 20:17
