Hey,

i just tried to setup some RancherOS VMs but i’m failing at the the second step:

  1. Create a VM in VMWare-Workstation:

  2. tried to pull rancher/rancher:

[root@rancher ~]# docker pull rancher/server

i tried different “guest configs” like “ubuntu 64bit” or “any linux 64bit” with 10,20 or 50GB split in 2GB files or one large vmdk.

It is all failing with the same error “no space left on device”.

Also i tried to do all this with VirtualBox instead of VMWare Player. The same error…

What VM-Software you’re using to create a guest for RancherOS and what for settings do have?

Have You tested with live system booted from iso?
You need storage to save the images and containers which will be configured during install to hdd.
Take a look at Persistent State Partition here: http://docs.rancher.com/os/rancher-yml/

If you only booted from iso, you’ll be running from memory. To take advantage of your storage, you need to either install to hdd (http://docs.rancher.com/os/running-rancheros/server/install-to-disk/).
