So it seems there is no free inode on the root fs, as said in the error
message (/: create/symlink failed, no inodes free).

Here is a root fs on one of the machines:
# df -ki /
Filesystem  1K-blocks  Used  Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a    253678 61988 171396    27%    1421 31601    4%   /

It seems that you install something in / that may be put elsewhere.
