Hello,

i am trying to copy the Anyconnect packages to our ASA and getting the below error.

%Error copying disk0:/anyconnect-macosx-i386-4.2.01022-k9.pkg (No space left on device)

show disk0: output shows that there's 98 mb free on the device.

You may be out of cache-fs

You may be out of cache-fs space. I have seen a similar error when trying to add the newer (and larger) AnyConnect images on older ASAs like your hardware running the older (8.2 and earlier) software.

In addition to simply storing the AnyConnect images on disk, the ASA caches them in memory (RAM). You can increase the cache size with the "cache-fs limit" command as described here:

Thank you Marvin for your
