Some messages in this thread have raised the possibility of needing 49 to over 100 GB, which is much more than I have allotted. Also, what about space for a local repository when using synth for ports? I could run out of space on some of my partitions but could make a much bigger separate partition if necessary, 500 GB or more. If this question diverges from the proper thread topic, feel free to change the subject line and respond to freebsd-ports if that is more appropriate, so I won't be accused of hijacking this thread.
