It is still entirely reasonable to assume that he is running out of space on /var because of something using /var/tmp. I'd like to see the output of "ls -l /var" and "ls -l /". The results of "df" and of "du -d2 /var" with the new configuration (/var/tmp linked to /usr/tmp) taken while pkg_add is running _before_ the error message appears would be good, too. - Bob
