It means you've used all the space on your partition.

This is telling you that the root partition (mounted on directory /) doesn't
have the 41 MB of free space you need to install WP8.  You can either
install it to a different paritition which has more space, or you can
repartition (probably means reinstalling or backing stuff up and restoring)

Either that or installing WP8 somewhere else.

As someone said, the 'df' command will give the the amount of free space
available on all your partitions.
