I run -current on my laptop (Dell Latitude CPi). Here's my partition set up: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 92160 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 5*) b: 524288 92160 swap # (Cyl. 5*- 38*) c: 6281415 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 390) d: 2257095 4024320 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 250*- 390*) e: 262144 616448 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 38*- 54*) f: 1048576 878592 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 54*- 119*) g: 1048576 1927168 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 119*- 185*) h: 1048576 2975744 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 185*- 250*) /dev/wd0s3a 44111 23253 17330 57% / /dev/wd0s3f 508655 328718 139245 70% /usr /dev/wd0s3h 508655 430598 37365 92% /usr/local /dev/wd0s3g 508655 426542 41421 91% /usr/src /dev/wd0s3e 127151 19435 97544 17% /var /dev/wd0s3d 1094370 967957 38864 96% /usr/home I don't have a separate partition for /usr/obj or /cvs. I've put the cvs tree in /home/ncvs (/home is the largest partition). I've just put left /usr/obj in /usr. There are a few times that I've wanted my /usr partition larger, since /usr/obj can get rather large. A full 'make buildworld' takes nearly 250MB. Overall this works pretty well for me, though it'd be nice to have more partitions. > Any other disk hits, gotchas and advice are warmly welcomed. -- Christopher Nielsen Scient: The Art and Science of Electronic Business <http://www.scient.com>; cnielsen@scient.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
