In real terms this means that there is insufficient disk space on your nfs client to store the data that you are trying to store. In other words, the file system is full. Unfortunately FreeBSD doesn't have a dusty old barn which visiting data may use when there's no room at the inn (except maybe /dev/null) so you are left with two choices: a) Make room. Kick out old forgotten data to make way for this new incoming data that you wish to cherish and love. b) Store the data elsewhere. I don't know anything about your computer's partitioning so I don't know how possble this is but you may be able to copy the data to a different partition on the box where there is room. The output of df -h should be enough to determine this.
