Have you tried editing your ports-supfile and commenting out the "src-all" and the Chinese, German, etc... ports? Just make sure you have all the other ports uncommented. That will save you a lot of space, unless you need them.Hello,
so during a portupgrade on my laptop the root fs, with soft updates enabled, became full. So I removed a bunch of stuff to make a few gigs available. I checked and df reported more than a gig of free space - so I re-ran portupgrade.
Then I noticed it was full again, with df showing a negative amount of free space.
I removed even more stuff, and rebooted just incase there were more blocks to be freed.
After the reboot df showed a negative amount of space again. So I removed even more data (rm -rf /usr/ports/distfiles) and now I had 115 meg free df claimed. I then re-ran df in quick succession a few times and watched diskspace rapidly decrease to a negative 600 meg or so (note: the decrease was perhaps 150 meg/second, so it cannot have been a process writing data to disk in the background).
After a couple more reboots and a manual fsck in single user mode I still have the same problem (on both CURRENT and 5.2.1-RELEASE kernels).
What to do?
