[SNIP] I would use a MUCH larger /usr (in part because I store there /usr/src which is ~ 250 Megs and /usr/obj which is also ~ 250 Megs - for 3.1) A separate /tmp partition is probably not necessary : you could enlarge your swap partition and use it as a MFS (memory file system) mounted under /tmp More generally, if you have many partitions, it's easy to have at least one of them not large enough, and there is not "partition magic" tool for FreeBSD - so I personnaly have only /, /var and /usr (plus swap), wiht he sizes automatically computed by the install program.
