I have two 3.1-RELEASE boxes.
I successfully upgraded one of them to 3.3-STABLE, following the tutorial instructions by Nik Clayton.
When I try do do the same on the other one, it compiles for a long while, then the /usr partition fills up.

I deleted the /usr/obj directory, the /usr/ports directory, and symlinked /tmp -> /var/tmp
Still, before make buildworld, I start with:
(3.1-RELEASE box)
$ df
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a     31743    19580     9624    67%    /
/dev/wd0s1f   1080887   852993   141424    86%    /usr
/dev/wd0s1e     29751     7629    19742    28%    /var
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc
which seems to be too little disk space on /usr for an upgrade?

On the other box (3.3-STABLE), I also deleted the /usr/obj and the /usr/ports directories, but there are more packages installed on that box. Still, I'm left with significantly more disk space:  
(3.3-STABLE box)
$ df
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0s1a     31743    24758     4446    85%    /
/dev/wd0s1f   1107925   737998   281293    72%    /usr
/dev/wd0s1e     29751    12051    15320    44%    /var
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc

So, where do I start to look for obsolete files, or files that I can safely remove without doing any harm on the 3.1-RELEASE box?
Does the make buildworld create other temporary files which are needed to remove before giving it a new try?

Any suggestions are appreciated.
