Maybe you are right, but I turn off a big disk from migration and get the same error on converting 97%. Please see attach.

No, it is not a reconfig error (despite the 97% indicating in this direction) and it is not a real 'insufficient disk space' as the volume is only about 70% full. I suspect the file system has run out...
