Hello,
On July 2nd, I updated a machine to the latest snapshot and rebooted. It came back without issue. I then issued `pkg_add -U`. This machine was last updated on June 6th, so not terribly long ago. Partway during the process, the disk indicated it was full (not true) and no commands were available (ls, cd, etc). Unable to do anything, I terminated my SSH session and attempted to reconnect. The machine failed to respond to pings. I had someone onsite reboot the machine. It then came back up. I did not try the `pkg_add -u` command again. Inspection showed that partitions had plenty of available space and inodes.
The daily insecurity output that ran the following day, on Wednesday the 3rd, had this unusual snippet:
```

```
Given the package with the wacky description is `xz`, I'm more concerned than I would be otherwise.
I can see in `/var/log/messages` the snapshot update occurred without issue. Logs after the physical reboot show no core dump and only have complaints about filesystems not being properly unmounted - expected when the plug is pulled.
Are there any other logs I can check and share to help get to the bottom of this? The impacted computer has been running current and humming along happily in a network closet for over a year.
Respectfully,
Ron
