-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Matt the / partition doesnt really need to be bigger than 64mb, as long as it doesnt get more than 90% you should be okay! do you have a seperate /tmp and /var partition? maybe do a houseclean on those partitions Dan Cuthbert European Hosting Research & Engineering PSINet mobile : +44 77 1279 0646 - -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Matt Bettinger Sent: 11 September 2000 15:00 To: 'freebsd-newbies' Subject: more questions! Mom always told me there was no such thing as a stupid question so here goes. When i first installed FreeBSD 4.1 i was just playing around with it and used the defaults in the installed.. defaults partitions and such... one thing led to another now i pretty much rely on this machine for all of my home connections/communications.. everything. Problem is my root / is near 80% full. This is on a 20 gig HDD and i think the default / was set to like 50 megs. Question : is there any way short of reinstalling fbsd or buying a second HDD to increase/repartition my / ? I have done some research on the matter and have only found a couple of articles both involving a second hdd. Am i screwed or what? I guess i can clean out some temp files and such but that is really a temporary solution. thanks guys.
