By the way, setting minfree to less than 5% forces optimization for space, which will ``greatly increase the overhead for file writes'' according to tunefs(8). This may or may not be what you want. Also keep in mind that when some daemons that typically run as root run out of disk space, Bad Things can happen. > do i have to stop the 'make'? seems to be carying on ok... No, it will stop by itself if you're really out of space. But since you're running `make' as root, you have access to that 8% buffer and you do not have a problem. When the build completes, type `make clean' to remove the object files created by the build, or `make distclean' to remove the original tarballs. You might consider running `make -DNO_DEPENDS' clean' from /usr/ports to clean up after all of your past installs.
