vmware reports wrong space available ????

Hi all.

I've a physical machine with FC9 running vmware server 1.0.6 with 2 virtual machines.

each virtual machine is also running FC9.

Everything was running smoothly until one day, one virtual machine stop... :confused:

I've checked /var/log/messages of that machine and it says "no space left on device".

I try to create a file touch dd and the answer is the same.

The odd thing about all this is that the machine (both virtual and physical) have enough space left.

This is the space available reported by df -h

Physical machine

# df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

                      228G   38G  179G  18% /

/dev/sda1             190M   19M  162M  11% /boot

tmpfs                1010M   96K 1010M   1% /dev/shm

and the Virtual Machine

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

                      8.7G   3.6G  4.7G  44% /

/dev/sda1             190M   19M  162M  11% /boot

tmpfs                379M   0 379M   0% /dev/shm

every time i try to do something, i always get: "no space left on device"

Anyone has a clue ?
