I just tried this sequence (ok not really in single user mode
because I would lose the networking and I don't like to drive 40km 
at 2am to reach the console :), but I killed nearly all the daemons 
in order to free /var).   Still not working.

I am suspecting the kernel build.
I do have ffs_softdep.c and softdep.h as symlinks in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs ; 
however I do not see ffs_softdep.o in /usr/src/sys/compile/<NAME>, 
just ffs_softdep_stub.o.  softupdates.h contains "#define NSOFTUPDATES 0".
Somehow all this looks suspicious to me.
Yet I have "options SOFTUPDATES" in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/<NAME>.
Is that the right place for that option?
