Forget my suggestions. :) Instead, if you can afford to erase your hard drive and re-install, reinstall FreeBSD and use the auto-defaults setting when you're in the disk label editor. That will get /var (var = variable, in other words it changes often) off of your / partition. Also, if you can, after your finish installing and reboot your box, use ln to make /tmp be nothing more than a link to /usr/tmp. That will help a bit, too. Don't worry about the procfs on /proc. FreeBSD uses that as a virtual file system and it has nothing to do with disk activity.
