How large did you make the hard disk? At least 300GB ? Which instructions are you following (ie which build spec?)

You linked the 2.3 admin guide. There is an updated disk requirement table in the 2.6 admin guide.

As Arne hinted to above, with 2.6 the reccomendation for any dedicated psn production node is at least 300 GB disk. If you're leveraging pan or mnt personas then the reccomendation is 600GB+.

This is of course not the issue you ran in to that you sorted out, but this will help avoid issues if you're building a production deployment.
