3 suggestions from 4 different places have helped me cut my time to "make world" from 1 hr 15 min to a half hour - thought I'd pass along the links for anyone who doesn't already use these and is looking to speed up the process. * Using a MFS, suggested on BSD Vault at http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=53 - doubling the suggested MFS size gives me good results. * Tuning suggestions at http://www.daemonnews.org/200108/benchmark.html and the tuning(7) man page http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi? query=tuning&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-current - many of these are more applicable to a server environment, but some were quite helpful to little ol' me on my PC. :) * Mounting usr/src with the -noatime option, as suggested in the Handbook (section 20.4.15.6) at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859- 1/books/handbook/makeworld.html . Jud P.S. Does using mergemaster prior to "make world," as suggested in Mike Tancsa's post this evening "Re: make buildworld fails..." have any speed or other advantage over doing so afterward?
