Nearly full? It is a 32M file system with 15M free. That's not nearly full. The problem is that the update rate is faster than the softupdate code can deal with. Running sync between each install shows that this is a bug.

As Ollivier Robert pointed out, it is a known problem. Kirk says it's non-trivial to fix (though I'm sure he'll welcome your patches :-). The suggested work-around is not to run softupdates on root.

In any case, you should not be doing lots of writes to root, so the lack of softupdates should not be a problem.
