hi

just make sure the folder you are copying to is not in your root partition.

Make that: Just make sure the folder you are copying to (or maybe a folder is used temporarily by k9copy) has sufficient free space.
E.g. k3b will by default choose to create images in /tmp which is usually a tmpfs and so there's not much space there.

Hi Thanks Guys i will try that.....

I just had that problem today myself. Volume full, when I knew there were literally terabytes free on it.

Turned out that the share I thought was mounted, wasn't mounted. And the mountpoint is a directory, so when I copied to the mountpoint, I filled my root filesystem full.
