Distribution Failing for 54GB WIM File

Hi Folks,

I'm having issues distributing a large 50GB wim file. We have 2x distribution points that do not have issues distributing other, smaller files, so this should not be a permissions issue or a network access account issue. 

These areas of logs seem the most interesting on distmgr:

The Distribution Points have sufficient storage space and manually copying the file over doesn't present any issues. I have noticed that the drives hosting the content library on the site server (which is not a dp), have <20GB free space. Is there something I don't know about the stages SCCM goes through to distribute content? Does it transitionally exist on the site server before making its way out to DPs?

Thanks for any suggestions.

So, I've now figured this out. I hope this helps anyone in the future. 

On our site server, we have:

C:\ Physical Drive (local disk for Windows and OS stuff) - NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS.

D:\ Physical Drive (SCCM installation) - does not contain NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE, because we need it to have SCCM components.

I:\ iSCSIDrive (Content Library) -  does not contain NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE, because we need it to have the content library.

It appears what happened, is that the I:\ drive became full and then overflowed into the D:\ drive, which also became full. Now to try and figure out how to get the FileLib content back off D:\ now we've expanded the I:\ drive, and how to ascertain what CM12 will consider to be it's primary content library location on the site server... now the overflow has happened.
