hello

I have just finished installing arch into virtual box and encounter the following error even though I have 3GB left in the root directory.
:??:
error partition / too full: 40603 blocks needed, 29972 blocks free

this comes up even with a 100MB install!

I do not know loads about Linux.
any help will be greatly appreciated thanks.
