I've hit this with really large MySQL databases, and rsyncing massive directory structures. You've got to set your maximum data size higher. You can set this in the kernel config, or do it at startup (no need to recompile that way). Edit or create the file /boot/loader.conf and add this line: kern.maxdsiz="2147483647" That will give you 2G to play with instead of 512M.
