Well, thanks to excellent backups (including my entire root directory, subdirectories and all, my ppp directory, my custom kernel config file and certain files in /etc) and fast hardware, my re-install of FreeBSD is pretty much complete! I may still be lacking a few packages I had before, but that's an easy fix. I now have over 2 gigs of HD space dedicated to FreeBSD (2055 megs, to be exact), in the following organization: Disk: wd2 Partition name: wd2s1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- wd2s1a / 40MB UFS N wd2s1e /var 40MB UFS N wd2s1f /root 80MB UFS N wd2s1g /usr 1771MB UFS N wd2s1b swap 128MB SWAP Not bad, eh? Since so many programs (such as Netscape and XFMail) store their config files and caches in my home directory (I usually log on as root, even though it's supposed to be a no-no - I'm just extra careful), I dedicated an 80 meg slice to my home directory (/root). Swap is now about where it should be (the 2x main memory "rule of thumb" I've knocked in the past, but others have helped me see the light :-), and with a full system (including some large packages) installed, this is what df tells me: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd2s1a 39719 13550 22992 37% / /dev/wd2s1f 79455 593 72506 1% /root /dev/wd2s1g 1759018 251620 1366677 16% /usr /dev/wd2s1e 39719 1308 35234 4% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Gonna take a while to fill up that /usr partition! I love it. BSD is my OS of choice now, except when I need access to hardware it doesn't support. ---------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: Tim Gerchmez <fewtch@serv.net> Date: 27-Jun-98 Time: 12:16:57 This message was sent by XFMail under Fvwm2 and FREEBSD.
