Strange things are afoot: my 4 month old MBP keeps kicking out errors saying that my startup disk is almost full even though I have something like 40GB free. Windows partition works perfectly fine in boot camp. I've run Disk Utility's verify disk and permissions options with no errors and I was able to repair disk permissions just fine. The bootup hardware diagnostic tool with the OS X disk runs fine too. Onyx runs its cleanup functions fine, but I still get the error every now and again.
Obviously I have performed a backup and will likely make a trip to the Apple Store but has anyone encountered something like this? All signs point to software issues, but I'm still a little worried.

ClearSkies Well no, I'm still here..
OK, this is going to be a stupid question.....
I'm wondering whether your OSX partition is the one getting full and generating the error message - is your Bootcamp partition 40GB, by chance, and might that explain the error and normal function of the Windows install? -
Nope, boot camp is about 100GB and roughly 20% full. Plenty of room there.
Full Startup Disk errors with 40GB free?
