 pkg(8) first extract the file to the target directory but with a
temporary name, if it was using /tmp/ or /var/tmp/ it would have to
potentially move the file from one partition to another while right now
it can just rename it after having dealt with the old copy.

 Can you zfs list on this box please ?
