I am trying to upgrade MongoDB from version 1.6.5 to version 2.0.1 on an Ubuntu machine. I have tried many ways of updating, including replacing the binaries with the more recent ones, to adding mongodb-10gen to my sources list and installing from apt-get. However, each time I start mongodb after the upgrade I get a message similar to the following from the OS:

This computer has only 176.0 KB disk space remaining. You can free up disk space by removing unused programs or files, or by moving files to an external disk.

I am confident that I have more than enough space for this upgrade, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong for this to continue happening. Anyone run across similar issues? Were you able to solve it?
