We would make it 15GB and be done with it. My laptop has a combined /+/var+/usr of 12GB and I have multiple kernels installed and room in swap for a crashdump. No need to reply you hate this idea - just one opinion that there are other partitioning schemes (especially now that we have a dynamic /) successfully used. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
