Difference between chpass and pw

[disappearedng]

Hi everyone,
I added this user account vftp to my freebsd by mistake. I want to delete it and this is what is being reported.
:

[root@ /usr/home]# ls
disappearedng
[root@ /usr/home]# rmuser vftp
Matching password entry:

vftp:*:1003:1004::0:0:User &:/usr/home/vftp-c:/sbin/nologin

Is this the entry you wish to remove? yes
Remove user's home directory (/usr/home/vftp-c)? no
Removing user (vftp): passwdpw: user 'vftp' does not exist: No such file or directory
.
[root@ /usr/home]# pw userdel vftp
pw: user 'vftp' does not exist: No such file or directory

[root@ /usr/home]# chpass vftp

This is my chpass vftp

#Changing user information for vftp.
Login: vftp
Password: *LOCKED**
Uid [#]: 1003
Gid [# or name]: 1004
Change [month day year]:
Expire [month day year]:
Class:
Home directory: /usr/home/vftp-c
Shell: /sbin/nologin
Full Name: User &
Office Location:
Office Phone:
Home Phone:
Other information:
~

Apparently, I can't delete vftp because it doesn't exist. However, chpass shows that the login vftp exists.

How can i completely remove everything related to vftp?

Try removing the user with vipw(8).

I tried using vipw under su

this is what the system complains:

/: write failed, filesystem is full
pwd_mkdb: close: No space left on device
re-edit the password file?

Clearly I still have a lot of memory left.
What is wrong here? Is vipw's configuration file read-only which "tricked" the system to think that memory is full???

[Carpetsmoker]

It's not complaining about being out of memory, but about the filesystem being full.
Is your root filesystem full? What's the output of:
% df -h

Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad4s4a    496M    489M    -33M   107%    /

Packages and ports are installed to /usr/local/, as /usr/ different filesystem, this is not the cause of the problem.

See if there's anything that can be removed in /root, this is the home dir for the root user.
Also, when installing a new kernel, the old kernel is moved to /boot/kernel.old, if this directory is present, and the current kernel is working fine, then you can remove this.

Post the results of:
# find -x / -size +10M -exec du -hs {} \;

How to find where all your disk space went:

# cd /
# du -d 1 | sort -n
<check output for the largest hog>
# cd /<largest hog>
# ls -l
<check if anything jumps out>
# du -d 1 | sort -n

Repeat until you find where all the space went.
