pkg: Error extracting the archive: 'Write error'

[OliverLeitner]

trying to upgrade packages...

tried with pkg, pkg-static, with pkg bootstrap -f and then again, and with pkg.freebsd.org as well as pkg0.bbt.freebsd.org and this one...

rebooted the vm, same problem.

rebooted an hour later, same problem.

this wasnt a problem earlier today...

`
cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

FreeBSD: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: yes
}
`

getting this one:

`

thanks for any tip that could get me further...

i found the culprit.

i had

tmpmfs="YES"

in my /etc/rc.conf

after commenting out that line (back to defaults, i guess...) the pkg update -f worked again.

I had same error with my RPI FBSD. So thanks to this ticket i checked my /etc/fstab and there was this line:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,mode=1777,size=50m 0 0
Updating the size to 128m solved this problem for me.
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,mode=1777,size=128m 0 0
