https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D279622 Bug ID: 279622 Summary: Change Default bsdinstall(8) Partition Sizes for Auto (ZFS) Option Product: Base System Version: 14.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vermaden@interia.pl Hi, currently the default partitions layout/sizes to 'Auto (ZFS)' option is mor= e or less: - 260M efi - 512K freebsd-boot - 2G freebsd-swap - REST freebsd-zfs I would like to create a proposal for change - to make it like that: - 260M efi - 512K freebsd-boot - 2G freebsd-swap - 16G freebsd-zfs - FREE (free space) All the rest of (free space) is left untouched. The reason for that proposal is that I often get questions on how to make FreeBSD to just use 'some' part of the disk for the install and how to make= it do it in the installer ... and its not possible to my knowledge. Example use: Someone wants its system to boot automatically w/o any encryption and needs GELI partition that it will be attached manually via password sometime after the boot. It is still possible to do that creating another ZFS dataset and using ZFS encryption - but some people prefer 'full' encryption including dataset nam= es etc. IMHO 16 GB for FreeBSD systems seems like more the enough - my current 'desktop' with 1500+ packages installed takes 12 GB ... and most people do = not have that much stuff installed.
