Issuing the following:
$ df -h
...will help you pinpoint errant partition sizes.
If you are not changing the locations of where the ports tree builds applications, all versions of the JDK are primarily built underneath
/usr/ports/devel/jdk &
/usr/ports/obj, however, there are dependencies which will be built throughout the tree. Personally, I allocate 35-50GB as a single partition mounted as
/usr/ports, but this is
(intentionally) larger than what I ever need, but at times I build
very large applications -- OpenOffice,
etc., so I don't want to run into the situation you are experiencing now. 35GB is usually enough for everything, but I sometimes allocate more if I have the disk space to spare.
Cleaning object file & distfiles after building all applications can help if disk space is at a premium.
Likewise, note that only JDK versions prior to 1.7 require building as JDK 1.7 is available as a package as discussed in
Section 8.3 of the FAQ.
