Yosemite install fails: "not enough free space in the Core Storage Logical Volume Group for this operation"

This is on a Mac Mini, running Mavericks, with a fusion drive (1TB/128GB), and 85GB free space.

Any ideas?

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

@ Tuffy422 , I had the same problem "Dragging a window was laggy, and jerky…" with applications not working, I have solved the problem by "repairing the disk permission" with the "Disk Utility", after reboot everything worked like a charm.

I installed yosemite on my 256gb ssd and had no trouble installing but a few days after updating I have nothing but problems with the spinning pizza with just about every application I open.
