May 2, 201412 yr I'm unable to install any packages from my flash drive. I get this error: /sbin/installpkg: line 439: echo: write error: No space left on device The for example i was trying to install "/boot/extra/python-2.7.3-i686-5PTr.txz" so from a telnet session i typed "installpkg /boot/extra/python-2.7.3-i686-5PTr.txz" and I recieved the error.

May 2, 201412 yr your flash drive may have been marked as read-only if file-system-corruption was detected. you might want to run checkdisk/scandisk on a it from a windows PC. (stop your array, power down, then unplug the flash drive and move it to the PC for the check)
