For my, I've made it a habit of looking at /var/spool/mqueue, for the longest time I couldn't get sSMTP to work properly w/ my mail server and that location would chew up all my free space and cause similar problems. Also what you could do is make sure your fBSD box has a Head and leave it idle (no blanking) on the root-console (ttyv0) and look and see. This was how I discovered my space issues.
