Were you installing DragonFly 3.0.x with UFS (as opposed to HAMMER)?
If so, that's a known UFS softupdates bug that still hasn't been 
completely fixed.  The workaround is either to install from a latest 
snapshot (the current bug is unlikely to prevent installation from 
completing now) or better yet to turn off softupdates flag from the 
installer.
