WAS v8.5 > Reference > SetsProfiles: File-system requirements
A minimum amount of space must be available in the directory where you create a profile.
An error can occur when we do not provide enough space to create a profile. Verify that we have, in addition to the minimum space required for a particular profile, an additional 40 MB of space. The 40 MB of space is used for log files and temporary files.
Space requirements.
This table shows space requirements for various profiles and server types.

Situations in which you could have insufficient file-system space
The Profile Management Tool and the manageprofiles command check the amount of file-system space needed to create the profile is available prior to the profile creation begins. However, a slight chance exists the profile creation can fail due to a lack of file-system space. This failure can occasionally occur in the following situations:
- Another user performs an action, such as copying files, that occupies file-system space at the same time that either the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command writes to the file system.
- Another program writes to the disk at the same time that either the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command writes to it to create a profile.
- The Profile Management Tool writes its logs and the profile that it creates to the same file system at the same time.
- The manageprofiles command writes its logs and the profile that it creates to the same file system at the same time.
Use the following recommendations to avoid profile creation failure:
- Ensure that enough temporary space is allocated for profile creation. Some temporary space is needed for the profile creation logs. These logs can be on a different file system than the file system on which the profile is created.
- Ensure no other program writes to the file-system space when either the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command creates the profile.
- Ensure no user performs actions that occupy the file-system space when either the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command creates the profile.
