I am wondering why the slices are numbered 2a,2e,2f. You also have not allocated as much space as you said was on the drive. The size of each slice is the 2nd column. / is 496 KB, /usr is 992 KB, /var is 992 KB. This is not a good layout, IMHO. With large capacity drives, I don't see the point in limiting the size of /usr and /var, unless you are supporting thousands of users. Just make one big slice on / that takes up the entire drive. Or two slices, one on / and one that you mount later on /pub, where you can put web sites and other non-OS stuff. /usr is 99% full. I can tell you right now that this is simply because you need to allocate more than 992 KB to /usr, or get rid of the ports collection. You could move it to /var and then make a symlink in /usr/ports if you don't want to lose it or re-slice your drive. / is full. If you have /usr on a separate slice, like you do, there is no reason / should be using all 496 KB you allocated. What is the output of (run as root) du -s /bin /boot /dev /dist /etc /mnt /modules /modules.old /root /sbin /stand /tmp The numbers should be not too different from this: 3848 /bin 591 /boot 56 /dev 1 /dist 828 /etc 1 /mnt 3674 /modules 3674 /modules.old 8 /root 10564 /sbin 1830 /stand 10 /tmp If any of the numbers are very different, that will be a clue as to why / is full. Good luck, and be sure to cc: your replies to the FreeBSD list.
