I have a quad cpu with 8gb ram running SUSE 10 sp2 on a raid 5 XEN host server. I have created a 250 gb partition GWMAIL in the extended partition to be the disk space for the first virtual machine OES sp1 with groupwise 8.0. I have downloaded the OS .iso's to the desktop of the host server to use for installation. When I begin to install, it hangs for 5 to 10 minutes then gives me an out of space error. I am not sure what the issue is now. Please help.

That would probably because it is out of space somewhere. What is he error message, what is the state of your partitions?

I have been trying to setup SUSE 10 SP2 XEN host server. I have a RAID 5 with 1.8 tb of space and 8gb ram and quad cpu. I have setup the partitions (see below) but am having major trouble getting a virtual machine to load the os.

dev/sda 1.8 TB Adaptec Array One scsi array
dev/sda1 5 GB linux native /boot
dev/sda2 8 gb swap /swap
dev/sda 100 gb linux lvm evms lvm2/system
dev/system 100 gb EVMS/system
dev/system/swap 8 gb EVMS/swap
dev/system/syslnx 92 gb EVMS/syslnx
dev/sda4 1.6 TB extended

I can setup the xen but when it comes to installing a virtual machine, the install begins but then errors out with 'out of disk space.' I have the install .iso packages on my desktop like the instructions call for but it doesn't work. I have even createa partition from the extended partition with 300gb space and tried to use it for the virtual machine space, but I still get the same error.
