Description Ludwig Nussel 2022-01-10 15:23:05 UTC 
bug 1194458 describes the events that lead to a disk full situation. Trying to log in as root didn't proceed. ssh -v shows:

debug1: pledge: filesystem full

Shouldn't it be possible to log in as root even when the disk is full?
Comment 1 Hans Petter Jansson 2022-01-10 21:57:26 UTC 
I think that message is a red herring. It's just an unfortunately worded debug message regarding pledge(). From clientloop.c:

	> } else if (options.update_hostkeys) {
		> debug("pledge: filesystem full");
		> if (pledge("stdio rpath wpath cpath unix inet dns proc tty",
		>     NULL) == -1)
			> fatal_f("pledge(): %s", strerror(errno));

The problem is likely something else, might be something outside openssh too.

Sorry for the wonderful formatting, hard to tell what bz is going to do sometimes :)
