The machine has only a 32GB disk, df reports: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s2a 35532636 11410120 21279908 35% / devfs 1 0 1 0% /dev /dev/da0s1 51088 17348 33740 34% /boot/msdos so it appears I have about 20 GB available. IIRC it's possible to "set a depth", could it be set to some small number, like 1, 2 or maybe 3, so I get the N-number without all the baggage?
