It really does depend on what you've installed. Most ports and packages install into either /usr/X11R6 or /usr/local. This means that, the more stuff you install, the more /usr/local will fill up. Personally, I'd have put FreeBSD's /usr on the smaller disk, with swap, /var, /usr/X11R6 and /usr/local on the larger disk, because /usr is less likely to grow than /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 . Be brave, take a look at what's using all that space. For this purpose, the du(1) utility will be helpful. You can get a summary of the /usr/local hierarchy's disk utilization with: du -sk /usr/local/* To get a more detailed breakdown of _all_ the subdirectories in the hierarchy, you can use: du -sk `find /usr/local -type d -print` Have fun!
