Questions and postings pertaining to the usage of ImageMagick regardless of the interface. This includes the command-line utilities, as well as the C and C++ APIs. Usage questions are like "How do I use ImageMagick to create drop shadows?".
You upgraded to 6.7.8-9? I suggest a more recent version.
Your "list resource" seems to show the Area is limited to 1B (one byte), and Disk to 16B (sixteen bytes). Perhaps the entries in policy.xml are being misread. Try changing "gb" to "GiB".
snibgo, on Linux, they patch without changing the version number. So the date of the patch is more important, i.e. 2019-02-01 (Jan 2019). Perhaps there is a more current patch. Nevertheless, it seems that they do not always do such a good job of patching and often just patch only for security issues.
I'll add that I did try to upgrade to latest version, but there is no easy way without compiling from source and assembling together all delegates and stuff. (I've had much worse luck with that in the past)
I see a number of unanswered messages here how to install from rpm

Your (patched) IM is reading "1gb" and reporting that as "1B". This will force pixel caches to disk. But your disk limit is set to "16eb", which IM is reporting as "16B", so there is insufficient room on disk for the caches.
We can see that IM is correctly reading "4GB" and "4GiB". So I suggest you edit your policy.xml settings for "area" and "disk".
