One issue is we have "one size fits all" for the md files default size of 5MB, which is for all practical puposes too small. IIRC you need at least 8MB to hold what is in a 11.1 var.cpio.gz file, and possibly more for ^head. It would be nice to have the size of /var and /etc set seperatly with resonable defaults. At present my diskless environment over rides both of these with md_size files in the ./conf directory. There may be some lingering comments about 4MB, but I am looking at 11.1 /etc right now. > Modified: > head/share/man/man8/diskless.8 > > Modified: head/share/man/man8/diskless.8 > ============================================================================== > --- head/share/man/man8/diskless.8 Tue Mar 6 14:28:37 2018 (r330539) > +++ head/share/man/man8/diskless.8 Tue Mar 6 14:31:15 2018 (r330540) > @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ > .\" > .\" $FreeBSD$ > .\" > -.Dd August 7, 2011 > +.Dd March 6, 2018 > .Dt DISKLESS 8 > .Os > .Sh NAME > @@ -311,7 +311,7 @@ The > .Nm > scripts create memory file systems to hold the overridden > directories. > -Only a 2MB partition is created by default, which may not > +Only a 5MB partition is created by default, which may not > be sufficient for your purposes. > To override this, you can create the > file > > -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
