Hi Gautam,

>From the log it looks like it ran out of space - this could be the disk being
full, but it could also be that it might be building in a tmpfs environment
and you're actually running out of memory.

try changing the mock config in buildroot.git/mock/default.cfg - the line is:

    config_opts['plugin_conf']['tmpfs_enable'] = True

change that to 'False' and see if that helps.
