FMS2 fails to record the stream

Hi, This has been a frustrating week, so i REALLY appreciate any help in advance
We have installed FMS 2.0.4 on linux (tried both ubunto and fedora 6 but the problem is consistent in both)
the server runs perfectly and accept connections but it fails to record the flv file on the filesystem. I digged the logs and this is what i found:
==> core.00.log <==
2007-03-27 17:57:11 6890 (e)2601163 Failed to record /opt/macromedia/fms/applications/babulous/streams/0/0/0/0/0/1/4/5/145, no space left on device -

I don't think no space left on device is a accurate message:
this is how my file system looks like:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
- 99525364 6334424 88135288 7% /

/dev/sda6 61440560 2111128 59329432 4% /media/sda6


I have tried this both on fedora and ubunto but i encounter EXACTLY the same problem, I must add that i tried running the media server from windows and write the files in a mounted drive (to linux via samba) and I still get the same problem.

anyone has any idea why this is happening???

Thanks

    THAT WAS IT!!!!

    thanks Jay - great - i was under impression that since FMS is running as root it has all the root permissions, tell you the truth, it didn't even cross my mind, and one would think that NOT ENOUGH PERMISSION would be a better error message than NOT ENOUGH SPACE!!!!!!!!!!???

    thanks again

    Does the FMS user have permission to write to the FMS directories? I seem to remember having the same problem once before (although it was on a windows machine). Giving the user write permission to the fms/applications directory cleared the problem right up.

    the fms user does not have any particular permissions but the media server is running as root, so it should be able to write wherever it wants -I will give it a try ... - thanks
