Not even close on Hard Drive or Ram, over 585Gbs free on the 6TB drive it is installed on. 40 TBs of space between all drives, 128 GBs of ram i7-6950X Xtreme Edition CPU .
Mods, Allocs Server Fixes and BC
Seems to happen when shutting down and having to restart the PC/System even with a clean shutdown on the Dedicated Server, but I have also noticed it happen on SP as well when I am testing prefabs and after a few of those, I restart 7DTD fresh and I will get that same error. Somehow related to the main.ttw file (file sizes range from 335kb to sometimes 1MB in size when I get the error.) If I remove the main.ttw and restart the game it is fine but its back to day 1 again.
My only concern is that, on my Dedicated server if and when this does happen - What are my players or myself losing when this happens besides the day 1 reset? Inventory and items seem to be fine so far.

I haven't seen anyone else reporting this, so it must be kinda rare. However, you state that this happens in single player and on your dedicated server. I assume when you say this, these are run on separate machines? If that server is truly dedicated, I find it pretty weird that you get this on 2 machines... unless perhaps, you set up the dedicated server yourself and that dedicated server has some kind of commonality with whatever machine you are playing SP on.

Both are on the same machine - When I noticed it on the SP, it wasn't playing it on SP so I should clarify, I was actually using the World Editor when this happened on that one. Place a prefab where I wanted, Save, then Exit. Edit the XML for prefabs if I didn't like the placement. run the World Editor, repeat. After a few times of doing this, I would get that error - wasn't back to back thing which was kinda weird.
Now with the Dedicated server. It would be running for a few days, and had several reboots using Botman's Server Manager and be running fine. and every now and then I get that message as well. This one on the dedicated side would seem to really happen after a Machine Reboot itself. Windows 10 Pro - a very beefy machine that really has had no issues ever - except this one thing that happens.
Now when it does happen, the game whether it be SP, World Editor or Dedicated stops and freezes once that error hits. And the only way past it is to delete the main.ttw file and its back to normal, but of course on a dedicated system that means Day 1 again. It's just odd that it happens. And only seen this happen since A17
Now between the World Editor/SP that save folder is in the default location, as the Dedicated is in a completely different folder path - So I ruled out maybe something in those - checked folder permissions and everything, also have the AV to exclude the ttw ext as well and the games EXEs.
It almost feels that some how the file possibly gets corrupted somehow or something that I cannot explain. What drives me nuts is that its not consistent like you would expect it to happen every single time or something.
At first thought maybe the mods but Alloc's Server Fixes and BC only run on the dedicated side and no one else is having this issue, but that wouldn't explain why the SP/World Editor would have the same thing happen. Since those mods are not even installed nor do they work on that side of the game anyways.
The work around I have like I stated before is simply remove the main.ttw file from there I can just change the Date and Time if I need to - to the day and time that it was before it happened. I just do not know with doing any of that what is it that is being affected by "resetting" that file per-say. I have even tried using the main.ttw.bak and and still get the same issue. If I remove it though the server launches as normal as well the World Editor or SP and all inventory items etc are still in play, map viewed and what not. So not entirely sure what it is we are actually losing when we generate a new main.ttw file besides the Day and time.

It's a shot in the dark, but my first guess would be a messed up prefab. Perhaps the server uses it but it only errors after a regions file is created that includes that POI. This would explain why it works, then suddenly doesn't after a reboot. When this happens, you might want to look at the most recently created region files. From those region filenames, you can get sets of coordinates... see this: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?6922-Regions-Chunks-and-a-Map-Mod
Then, based on those sets of coordinates, you can narrow down which prefab might be causing the problem by cross-referencing the coordinates in prefabs.xml
.... again, just a shot in the dark.

Another thing you could do is delete the region files one by one in backward creation date order and see if the world loads after each deletion until you find the problem area. Maybe backup those region files first so that once you find out which one causes it, you can send a copy of it to TFP for bug inspection.
... this is of course if a region file is even involved, but I think so.

SSD's for the OS yes, Game and Dedicated on the another drive both are on the same one. The logs were no help it loads everything gets to the region part right before its good basically after loading the settings and blocks and items etc etc.

This I will have to check, starting maybe thinking its one of the regions, nothing wrong with the POIs or Prefabs persay - thinking may be waaaay too many in one area and too much for it to handle. Loads fine initially and can play thru it possible said area, no errors thrown, however may be everything is fine until the reboot time and that one region is the problem child or something.

It looks like a messed up sleepervolume in a prefab. That's what I gather from that output, but of course... could be wrong.

Looking at this error more... I now guess that it is messed up prefab xml file. Perhaps saved with an incompatible encoding. Perhaps similar, but where something like a newline character is incorrect. Perhaps someone looking at file in a text editor with different encoding clicked save.

It is possible that there is a limit to the number of sleepvolumes and the insufficient space is referring to the buffer size for the character array representing all of those values.
It is also possible, like I said before, that bad encoding on a character you cannot see, such as newline, causes insufficient space because the loader can no longer find the end of the line of code.

I'm pretty confident that you'll find the problem now. Saw that you've been looking for a solution to this on at least one other thread.

I know with that one prefab it has about after I stop counting a little over freaking 50 sleepervolumes for some ungodly reason! Looking at the Prefab in the Prefab editor in the game itself, sweet baby Jesus! almost 1000! sleepers placed???? Why Why WHY? Who does that?? The building itself is nice and very appealing but for heavens sake, its like the Skyscraper from Hell if you would go in it.
I think this is the problem child, seems like no matter what region you throw this into it would have to be by itself maybe.

I doubt someone actually did that on purpose. Sounds like conversion gone wrong. Like a block replacement that shouldn't have happened.
