The error -2008 is "Devspace size too small".
That means there is not enough space at your disk for
the database size you have specified.

In the last step of the installation you have specified some
"device spaces" (devspace) with its size. Check the size of
your devspaces. Note there is a changeable unit of measurment
at the right beside the entry field for the size. The default
unit is kilobyte. Another unit is pages. A page has 8 kilobyte.

PS: If you have a error number and a text similar "message not
available" so you can also check the section "Messages 7.2"
