[sage-support] insufficient quota error

2007-09-30 Thread David Stahl

SAGE suddendly stopped running on my machine and I did not do
anything.  I am running SAGE 2.8 with Win2000 using the notebook.  I
have reset vmware, upped the memory available to the max recommended,
rebooted my machine.  All to no avail.  The message is:

Operation on file C:\sage-vmware-2.8\Ubuntu.vmdk failed
(insufficient quota to complete the requested service)

I've fallen and I can't get up.

David

Hello David,

any chance you have Nero or InCD installed? In that case check out
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/4226

Cheers,

Michael

Thank you Michael but I do not have either on my machine.

This looks like an error message coming from *Windows* itself,
saying that you don't have enough disk space (in some sense).
The c:\sage-vmware-2.8\ubuntu.vmdk file is huge, so that might
be relevant.  Your options include:
   (1) Check to see if you're low on disk space or have some sort
of user disk quota stuff setup on your Win2000 notebook.
   (2) Find a Windows expect and ask them.
   (3) Temporary workaround -- make the ubuntu.vmdk file smaller...
but this requires being able to start Sage, so isn't an option.
   (4) Read the link from mabshoff given below very carefully; probably
you installed some software into Windows at some point that is
causing this problem.
   (5) Ask at the vmware forum.

  (6) ???

Hi William,

Thank you for your reply.  I read mabshoff's link but it doesn't have
any guidance for me.  My machine with SAGE on it is dedicated to work
and does not have any extraneous software on it.  SAGE 2.8 worked fine
doing much more memory intesive work than the problem that made it
crash.  It does not crash immediately so I might be able to make
ubuntu.vmdk smaller.  Would you please tell me the steps?  I have only
been using the notebook since upgrading from an earlier colinux
version.  Should I use notebook when I shink the file or should I do
it from a SAGE command line?

David
