I get that all the time, it's actually a bit misleading. Whereas I had always thought it meant more or less "disk full" - what it really means is that "you do not have the full 120 GB you have allocated on top of the current cached files". Usually I go to check the cache disk and it's only about half full. That being said it's quite easy to fill up 350 GB or more very quickly. The whole reason for setting up this benchmark came from wanting to see which of my SSD's was best used as an AE cache and which for project files, as dry read/write numbers don't always tell the whole story.

I had 120bg each on two workstations but one of them is constantly
giving us a "not enough space" warning -- just upgraded that SSD to a
750, reserving about 500 for cache now.
