No, there was no warning about alignment. Only warning was about disk geometry. I tried to install FreeBSD couple of times, and third time it worked like charm :) No warning, no errors. Since I have two machines which are the same, I will try the second one today.

Re: /: write failed, filesystem is full
I suppose you are downloading some files from ftp to your home. Is that is the case - then you should check where is your home directory. I suppose you do it as root, and the root home is /root, which resides on the / mount.

PS. Where's your /home partition? :-) There used to be an issue with the installer that if you crashed out of the install process somewhere then restarted it from within sysinstall without rebooting you could get a similar issue. Maybe it's been fixed by now though. Sorry not to be more specific, it's been a long time since it has happened to me, maybe someone who knows more could confirm.

Hi all, ok, the problem is solved. tcpdump was still open and used the file as Bob already said. Sorry for my stupidity :) Thanks to all, Joachim Something still has the file open.
