When starting tor (systemctl restart tor) it said no issue/nothing, but tor was not running:

$ systemctl status tor

$ df -h
shows i am out of disk space.

So i shown largest directories on the filesystem:
du -h --max-depth=2 /|sort -h

Deleted large /var/swap.1 which was 1GB large and restarted tor, now with success. I think that swap file will be created again after reboot.
