I've seen this problem before when updating over ssh. Particularly if
copying large files such as the cellulose benchmark. It happens more
frequently on amber_web than it does on amber11. As far as I can tell the
actual error is some kind of timeout in the ssh connection that trigers a
disk full error. Before when it occurs I have been logged into Loyd directly
and watched the disk space and all was fine.
Note if you can update over NFS then everything works fine.
Unfortunately I don't have a fix other than to update directories
individually.
All the best
