I have used zypper since those installations, including an "important=yes"
update according to snapper.
There is no problem with the filesystem, there's plenty of disk space left.
Inspecting the strace -f log indicates that it's having absolutely no problem
creating files in /var/adm/mount:
75898 open("/var/adm/mount/AP_0xVBJWTN/repodata/repomd.xml.new.zypp.lvF0H9",

There are no threads involved, otherwise I would suggest that it's a race
condition. But it's clear that it's trying to open a file before the downloaded
file is renamed to the target name.
