Hello,

I saw a full disk because of a runaway background fsck : bg_fsck built some 
image of the disk in the top-level ".snap" directory, which grew and grew and 
grew ....

the workaround was to reboot in single-user, then fsck in foreground, and 
finally switch to Zfs (but obviously, only for a Releng7 machine)
