Finally got to the root problem. It seems I'm running on btrfs (single device), and the metadata became too full. This causes WIERD behavior - df would switch between sometimes showing 50% free space and 0% free. Operations would mysteriously fail with NOSPC even though there was loads of free space. I got working again by deleting a bunch of files. I think there is some other way I can get more metadata space for btrfs, but not sure about that.
