That error happens when there is a problem restoring the Tarball for
that Vsite or user in question. There are a couple of reasons why this
can happen:

- The disk quota is incorrect. The user was created with a disk quota of
(for example) 5GB, but the tarball contains 8GB of data. So there is
insufficient space to restore it.

- The tarball has been corrupted on transfer from the old server to the
new one. Expecially multi-part tarballs (tarballs larger than 4GB are
split into several parts) react very allergic to unpacking if one of
them has been corrupted.

The disk quota issue can be circumvented if you follow the CMU migration
guide at this URL:

http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=cmu-migrations

Especially follow the instructions outlined in step #2:

2.) Make sure no site or user is over quota (optional):

Run this two commands as "root" from SSH:

/usr/sausalito/sbin/disk_restorequotas.pl
/usr/sbin/swatch

The first command syncs the CODB stored quota settings for users and
sites with the file system quota. The second command then checks the
actual quota usage and stores it into CODB.

Then go to the GUI, click on "Active Monitor" / "Status" / "Disk Usage"
and check the "Sites" and "All users" tab to make sure that no site or
user is over quota. If a site or user is over quota, increase their disk
quota allowance until all sites and users are showing green.
