I've created 128M-sized root and 256M-sized /usr, 4G /usr/local and 15G /home and selected only base distribution (and kernels). I've booted the new installation from hard drive, created directory /home/ports and made symlink /usr/ports -> /home/ports. Then I mounted CD and ran sysinstall to install Ports Collection. I hoped it will populate /home/ports. However, sysinstall removed /usr/ports symlink and started to fill /usr/ports directory, quickly ran out of vnodes and failed. The same attempt for src distribution was successful, sysinstall has not removed /usr/src -> /home/src symlink and populated /home/src directory. >How-To-Repeat: Make empty /home/ports directory, make /usr/ports symlink pointing to /home/ports, run sysinstall and try to install Ports Collection from FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE CD (disk1). Sysinstall removes /usr/ports symlink, recreates it as directory and unrolls ports to /usr partition. >Fix: Unknown. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
