this is not the destination folder
it is not the scratch folder

the resulting file should be a psb-file at ca 3 gig
381 gig needed !

Maybe the message isn't accurate but it's understandable that your scratch-disk F: hasn't enough free space.
I don't know what would be the PDB file size but image size = 288960 * 70754 * 3 (RGB 8bit) = 57,1 GB
During rendering with smartblend, APP need to create many uncompressed 32bit temporary files, you shouldn't be surprised.
I don't think it's a bug. You just have to buy a bigger disk for F:

the bug is the message wording:

should have been:
"critical error" not enough space in scratch folder F:\temp

I agree. Here's a serious issue reported under linux and mac too.

Fixed in next 2.0.4

Thanks, Alexandre, to change the wording to please to users. But I don't think you find any Windows 32b API to test available space for one specific folder

There's one : try to create a file with that size ! LOL

"Bien joué", Alexandre, but it's a kind of a posteriori  error trapping. Can APP/APG estimate the needed size for rendering and alert user before starting in a priori checking ?
I will not be hard complaining if it's too diificult.
