While I'm not sure about how to deal with the first problem (the obvious
workaround is to run dd if=/dev/rcd0a of=/dev/null count=1 first, or
somesuch, but that's a workaround), the second is indicative of / being
filled. Don't do that; not doing that is easier if /home is on a
different partition.
