Yes, here's the layout from the vm:

# df -h
Filesystem                Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                  7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs                     7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                     7.9G  643M  7.3G   9% /run
tmpfs                     7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/prop-root      15G   11G  2.9G  79% /
tmpfs                     7.9G   12K  7.9G   1% /tmp
/dev/mapper/prop-boot     477M   95M  358M  21% /boot
/dev/mapper/prop-home     222G  215G  7.6G  97% /home

I'll add this info to the bug report.

I've got 7.6G left. I think I'll attach a new disk with enough space
and copy the contents over so I can keep the system running. I'll
hopefully be able to work on the bug soon too.

Thanks,
Alex
