Synopsis: can't compile system on 1gb partition of 27.2 gb disk

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-Why: 
If the build is failing in random places, then you may be looking at a
hardware problem.  The vast majority of the possible bugs that can
occur in FreeBSD (or any OS) due to large disks are deterministic and
100% fatal (where 100% fatal means either a system crash or very nasty
mysterious erros).

Anyways, if it is a FreeBSD bug, we need more to go on than just 
"buildworld fails in random places".  I don't know offhand of anyone
using 1gb partitions on 27.2gb disks for FreeBSD, but I don't believe
that we should have problems on a 1gb partition.

You can try sending some of your error messages.  Good luck.
