Is /opt mounted under /?

Is / (root) short of space prior to mounting?

If so then the space needed by the mount (used by root) is out of space you 
may need to have more free space on the root partition.

In my case when using a laptop as an emergency system with the PC HDD mounted 
via a usb desktop dropin adaptor I had over 1Gb in root and that worked fine.
