Neither have I, but I still object. From the diff: + * We autolabel the following partitions: /, swap, /var, /var/tmp, /usr, + * and /home. /home receives any extra left over disk space. This is adding Yet Another file system. I've already said I object to this: People who use Auto don't understand sizing. How can Auto decide for them? We've had a discussion showing that you represent a minority view, and in fact that there are many minority views. In particular, there has been very little support for /var/tmp. I agree with jkh: to claim that this handles just about everyone's needs is bogus. Please back this out. What we should discuss is whether we can come up with a small number of alternatives which will handle just about everyone's needs. Suggestions? I note that nobody slammed my suggestion, which went strongly in the opposite direction.
