Perhaps you could give us the output of the df command to see if there's
anything unusual.

Anyway, check if you have accounting_enable="YES" on /etc/rc.conf, and whether
it might actually be /var which is full.

Recently something very strange happened to me: accounting_enable="YES" somehow
got into my /etc/rc.conf file and it ended up filling my /var filesystem which
happens to be a condition just as serious as filling up /.

Although this happened to me already two weeks ago, I take the occasion to ask
the list:
- Does anyone know of any reason, such as a port installation or a make
installworld, that justifies that accounting_enable="YES" misteriously appeared
on my /etc/rc.conf ? I know I didn't do it...

I hate to admit I let it happen... and I have been blaming myself for having
forgotten to disable password authentication on ssh to this machine... but maybe
something else is to blame.

Miguel Ramos,
Lisboa.
