Hi all,

If this is inappropriate for hackers, I apologize...

I now have a /usr partition that is about 450M...  The ports/distfiles is
about 70M of that, but the rest is all stuff that's inclusive with the OS.
I sent mail about this a while back, and no one knew what the problem was,
but now I have yet another clue to share.  

In /usr/obj, the entire source tree was replicated like so:

/usr/obj/usr/src...etc..

So after not knowing how it got there, I blew it out with no ill effects.
Yesterday I cvsup-ed to 2.2.1 (Mr. Polstra, cvsup rocks!) and decided to
bring myself up to date.  Made a new kernel, then started a "make world"
last night.  Everything went perfectly, except for the mystery directory.
It's back again.

So am I missing something here?  Is that how it's supposed to be?  It
seems a bit large to me, and it *looks* like a redundant hierarchy...

Thanks,

Charles
