It's some file system with dynamic allocation of inodes.

There may be tons of data in old log files left, looking at the file
names - in default settings, log files grow up to 10 MB before
BerkeleyDB switches to a new file.  14 log files are therefore
sufficient to exhaust your space.

Try using the -c option on bf_copy, which avoids copying unneeded log
files (but the destination directory can no longer support
"catastrophic" recovery, just normal recovery).
