Hi all!
I installed and configured ghettoVBB on an ESXi 5.0.0 build-469512. On this ESXi I have 2 VM: "LinuxServer" and "WindowsServer". It's about one month that every 3 days the cloning of the WindowsServer fails with the message: "There is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation (13)":
Cloning disk '/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/WindowsServer/WindowsServer.vmdk'...

The destination folder is on a NAS (mounted as a datastore on the ESXi).
My question is this: "not enough space" is intended in source file system or in destination file system? The situation before backup is this:

WindowsServer has only 1 disk of 500GB Thick-provisioned, but the destination .vmdk file is thin provisioned. I guess that it could have problems on the src datastore (because of only 161.1GB of free space), but why it fails every 3 days and not every time it runs?
I tried to change the schedule time and the order of the backups, but nothing changes...
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot
