I’ll admit that I’m a novice at this, but I’m not sure why I’m getting reported as being out of space. I allocated 500mb during the usb set up process, and it was on a 1 Gb drive. Checking the drive it had stored an episode of a show, an album, and a photo album all locally. None of those had been accessed recently. I tired deleting the locally stored files and got the same error. I’m not sure what else to check at this point.

I can compress and post the remaining contents of the USB drive if it would help to diagnose. Aside from my network share name I couldn’t image there is anything personal that it has cached.

500 Mo …
if you use linux
try this : insert your stick and locate his mount point. Create a directory like casper-rw-test in your home
sudo mount -t ext2 -o loop /mount_point_stick/casper-rw ~/casper-rw-test
Now you can see what contains your casper-rw file
execute “df -h” in a console and post the result

I’ll have to set up live CD or something. I don’t use linux primarily

yes, you can boot with a live cd and test
There are tools for windows to access ext2/3 partitions. But i don’t know if you can access/read/wrint in an ext2 file

you can access casper-rw file in windows (tested with wine and it works)

SOLVED!
Thanks for the pointer to explore2fs, it came in handy. It turns out that the metadata (thumbnails, cover art, etc.) for 650Gb of movies and TV shows takes up quite a bit of space. I ended up creating a new image on a larger drive, moved the casper partition file over and then used the guide below to resize it to give myself a full 4Gb. From there everthing seems to be working fine. I thought there was a setting in XBMC to store the metadata on the network drive where the file media file is stored. I’ll have to do some digging on that one. At any rate I’m back up and running. Now I just cant wait for the remote fix with the next release.
