i had this issue once because i was allocating more storage than my disk 
has space for. Are you sure you are not overbooking the disk's capacity 
? If a dd let you go over this issue this should not be the case just 
giving experience return for the same error message i had..

try to put

vg00-root  /                       5-         xfs       defaults


and see if it helps...


regards,
Jean.
