Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG when it came time to partition my brand new 14.4 Giga byte hard drive I chose "Auto" to let the program do it. The other day I got a "/: file system full" error. Something tells me I should have made the root partition larger or do I just have too much junk in there? Is it preferable to keep the root partition tiny? Is there a version of partition magic for FreeBSD? :-) greg strockbine To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
