This is most likely due to the docker host having actually run out of disk space. On docker toolbox (older or non-pro windows), and perhaps others too, this can be obscured because the docker host is actually a VM with a finite disk space.

To check you can run

docker-machine ssh

followed by

df -h

To re-create the docker host from scratch (which will loose all containers and images)

docker-machine rm default
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
