vSphereUnikInstanceListener error on startup

[getstek]

I am deploying Unik to a vSphere 6 installation (vCenter v6.0.0 build 3634794 & ESXi 6.0.0 build 4192238) and when the InstanceListener VM comes up it hangs with an error in the console.

The Unik daemon finally bails and cleans up after itself, leaving this error message behind:

Which version of vSphere is Unik known to be tested with?

@djannot reported having the same issue with vsphere. We will look into fixing it today. He reported that commit a2e37c8ed07ccaba10122ed4024587c4b36aed2c was working for him, but afterwards things broke. I will keep you updated here with our progress. Adding @uvgroovy to this thread

Fixed by adding more space to boot file-systems.
