Yes, it sounds like a good plan for all the reasons you stated. >I'm planning on making /usr 4G, and /usr2 6G. Does that sound sane? I'm running 5.2.1 with X, apache, samba, and 162 ports installed and df is reporting usage at 2.5 gig including the usr/src directory. It sounds like under your configuration a 4G /usr will result in a little less than 50% usage, which is reasonable to allow growth although it could be argued that /usr could be decreased a bit. My current src tree is weighing in at 375MB. My ports directory is coming in at 351MB. So 6G for the src disk sounds like a lot. But disk space is cheap so if you've got it, go for it. J
