 * Unable to export – out of disk space
 * IS A TOTALLY ANNOYING and INCORRECT ERROR MESSAGE
 * What you should say is.
    The FREE version of All In One WP Migrate is limited
   to 512MB You have exceeded this (GIVE SIZE !!!!) – please try Excluding Media
   library in export. OR Buy the licenced version
 * This would save a lot of people a lot of time and pain.
 * please fix.

 * Dear angry person.
    Your conclusion is totally incorrect.
 * Our premium versions have nothing to do with this issue, in fact, our premium
   versions *will not solve* Out of disk space error.
 * The error message “Unable to export – out of disk space” is being displayed only
   for 1 reason and it is when the plugin attempts to write a file on the hard disk
   and it is unable to. Why the OS reports that there is not free disk space available?
   
   I am afraid there is more than one reason, the most obvious is that indeed there
   is not enough disk space.

 * Dear Yani,
 * Thanks for your response.
 * BUT I am afraid I can only conclude the your error message it wrong, and having
   spent 2 hours running test cases with my hosting company support, I can only 
   conclude that your error message is wrong:
 * **System**
    I have 20GB disk space – current usage around 100MB. Media files 
   = 1.2GB Export without media files = 50MB
 * **Export ALL**
    When I try to export all I get error message
 * Unable to Export – Out of Disk Space
 * **Export without media files**
    When I export without media files it works, and
   I have 50MB file.
 * Therefore my conclusion after 2 hours of testing, checking with hosting support
   disk usage and allocation, and re-testing is that the error message is incorrect.

 * The problem is in your hosting provider.
    You are using some sort of a shared
   server which is not configured properly and your disk allocations are not setup
   properly or have limits – there are more than storage limits, there are also 
   speed limits, there are also maximum file size for a particular file system type.
   There also another set v reasons but they are all on your hosting provider end.
   How to resolve? – Export in chunks if you hit these limits. or – Buy their more
   expensive hosting package.
