An error has occurred during virtual machine execution! The error details are shown below. You may try to correct the error and resume the virtual machine execution.
The I/O cache encountered an error while updating data in medium "ahci-0-0" (rc=VERR_DISK_FULL). Make sure there is enough free space on the disk and that the disk is working properly. Operation can be resumed afterwards.
Error ID: BLKCACHE_IOERR
Severity: Non-Fatal Error
Actually there is plenty of space (27GB). Also the ubuntu installer at the first step confirmed that more than 4.5GB space is available. So what does this error mean exaclty?
Well the problem has been fixed by using a fixed size VDI file instead of dynamic one.
I think there is some bugs in the dynamic VDI file because after receiving the error, I checked the size of VDI file and it was 2GB.
However there is no problem with fixe size VDI file
I am getting this same error on windows and I have plenty of space.

I am getting this issue again on a new Virtual box.

May have fixed the issue - but I don't know for sure. I examined the disk I was / am storing all my VM's on and found that I had marked or it was marked as "compressable" So I removed the attribute and so far...no issues.
Having said that - Virtual Box updated to ver. 4.2.12 -
I also ran chkdsk /x on system drive - it said it found some clusters marked allocated that were free. And it completed ok (fixed) - so, we will see.
The solution is simply to enable the cache I/O host. It can be activated in the configuration of the machine, Storage »SATA Controller" Use the cache I/O host (all other values are those used by default VirtualBox). After this change the error disappears
