I have been trying to install galeon from pkgsrc and I keep 
running into a write issue with / filling up. It turns out my swap 
partition (129 Mb) is not being used: /tmp is mounted under / and 
cc uses that as scratch space, filling it up. I watched top while 
the build was going on: swap stayed empty (129 mb free), but the 
build failed due to a lack of disk space.

I blew away /tmp, created a bogus tmp directory on a disk with a 
lot of free space and linked it: tried my build again, problem 
went away.

everything looks fine in fstab: the disklabel is good. What am I 
missing?

Nobody can be exactly like me.  Sometimes even I have trouble 
doing it.
