Is it possible to > mount all the file system under FreeBSD v2.1. Thanks. what exactly do you have going to the root partition? The only time I have seen that is when certain idiots added a ton of home dirs off of the root dir [adduser remembered someone's screw-up] or when /var is mounted off of the root with a LOT of mail accounts, etc... It is always best to mount that stuff on seperate partitions.. Oops... too much tequila tonight, you already said what your allocation is.. >From the size of /home, i'll assume that you have a lot of users... where is /var? getting a lot of mail? for a lot of users? where is /tmp? lot's of trashfiles? /tmp should also have it's own partition too, otherwise you risk fragging even worse... As fas as max filesystem, it is either 63 or 64 bits in size ever since 2.0-R. In other words, nobody has to worry until bacteriorhodopsin-based storage is financially and technologically feasible.
