--- Comment #12 from Sylvain Garrigues <sylvain@sylvaingarrigues.com> ---
Just realized that, for EC2 images, UFS partition size is overriden in
release/tools/ec2.conf per Colin Percival commit.=20

He wrote:
# Build with a 3 GB UFS partition; the growfs rc.d script will expand
# the partition to fill the root disk after the EC2 instance is launched.
# Note that if this is set to <N>G, we will end up with an <N+1> GB disk
# image since VMSIZE is the size of the UFS partition, not the disk which
# it resides within.
export VMSIZE=3D3072M
(see
https://reviews.freebsd.org/source/src/browse/head/release/tools/ec2.conf$1=
4)

Since GCE images seems to require src and ports extracted per Google's
Marketplace (Amazon do not require them), I would see no reason not to add
VMSIZE=3D10GB or 15GB in release/tools/gce.conf

It would enable people to use FreeBSD within the Always Free program of Goo=
gle
Cloud (which gives 30GB storage for free) - it is not possible right now
because of the ~32GB FreeBSD 11.2 image size.
