I wonder where ~10G have gone. All the subdirs in / use ~4.5G only (that might be the size of REFER in opensolaris-7), and my $HOME uses 38.5M, that's correct. But since rpool has a size of> 15G there must be more than 10G somewhere.
Do you have any old Boot Environments (BEs) around? In order to *really* empty /var/pkg/downloads, you have to delete every old BE because /var/pkg/downloads is protected by BE snapshots. Each new BE seems to take 5GB or so in /var/pkg/downloads, so it adds up fast! AFAIK there is no way to get around this. You can set a flag so that pkg tries to empty /var/pkg/downloads, but even though it looks empty, it won't actually become empty until you delete the snapshots, and IIRC you still have to manually delete the contents. I understand that you can try creating a separate dataset and mounting it on /var/pkg, but I haven't tried it yet, and I have no idea if doing so gets around the BE snapshot problem. Sadly this renders the whole concept of BEs rather useless if you boot from smallish SSDs or HDs - my workaround is to keep the old BEs on a backup disks, just like the old UFS days :-) (snapshots work, too).
