OK, here is what that returns:

$ sudo fstat -f / |sort -rnk 8|head
root     init           1 text /         16492 -r-xr-xr-x  599320  r

Do you see anything that looks unusual?

I also ran: 

$ sudo find / -iname "*.core"

and it turned up a few .core files, but nothing in the root tree.

At this point, I am thinking I might as well move the OS to an drive with
bigger partitions. There is a tutorial here
<http://www.tutorialhero.com/click-42879-moving_freebsd_to_a_new_hard_drive.php>;
which explains how to do this using dump and restore. Just curious: why is
this preferable to using plain old cp?
