      <snip>Im using VirtualBox 5.0.2 running a Ubuntu 16 VM, on MacOS 10.11.5</snip>

      Virtual disk space issue?
      So your running Virtualbox on OS X, where Ubuntu is a guest, then trying to import a 1.6GB image into Ubuntu?  Correct me?

        Not sure exactly what you mean by "import a 1.6GB image into Ubuntu". I downloaded the .ova in my Ubuntu guest so I could convert to the .vmdk. From there I copied the .vmdk to OS X and tried to create a new VM guest based on Linux with 2 processors, 16gb ram, and the .vmdk as the virtual hard disk. When selecting the .vmdk as the virtual hard disk is when I get the error.

          Gotcha now.
          You could not import the .ova itself?

            No errors out as well. What Virtual Machine software are you using?

              Maybe it's corrupt in some way. I would just grab a new copy.

                What version of Linux is the ova/vdmk based on? Maybe I was using the wrong type..

                    Hmm, since Splunk has a native OS X version I think I will start exploring that.

                      why are you going through all the extraction nonsense - pretty sure virtualbox should just import that ova as an appliance.  When I get home from this road trip I will give it a go.

                        Yes I see that now. I'll try that when I get home. I was trying to use it as a virtual hard disk, way over thinking it..

                          And that over thinking part we are all susceptible to.

                            Ok true - but I mentioned back couple of days ago that can just import the ova into virtualbox ;)
