The next time pkg_add pukes on you, try df and see >which filesystem is at or above 108%. Or try setting TMPDIR to >/usr/tmp, which appears to be less likely to run out of room. This is what I get for Debug: proc: table is full Debug: Caught SIGPIPE while trying to install <insert package name> package. Debug: Switching back to VTYI DF Produces: mfs_root 89% / dev/wd0a 44% /mnt /mnt/dev/wd0s1f 23% /mnt/user /mnt/dev/wd0s1e 0% /mnt/var /dev/wcd0c 100% /cdrom DU Produces: A very long list that I am not going to copy :) I don't know what it is, probably something very simple that I am failing to see. I tried increasing the VAR partition size, but the error still came through. Any further ideas? --Perry Lucas
