Hiya, A question has arisen with the implementation of bsdinstall in 9.x as opposed to sysinstall in 8.x and previous versions of FreeBSD. It has always been FreeBSD's default to create four partitions and swap as such: / /tmp /var /usr swap The recent changes in 9.x with bsdinstall use a default behavior which creates only one partition and swap, with everything living under a single "/" partition as such: / swap We'd like a show of hands to see if folks prefer the "old" style default with 4 partitions and swap, or the newer iteration with 1 partition and swap. This is not a discussion of MBR vs GPT. The default moving forward from 9.x will be to use GPT. We realize that one can use bsdinstall to create as many partitions as one wants. However, the new default is for one partition and swap. We want to know if people would prefer the older style default with four partitions and swap when selecting "Guided Partitioning" and "Use Entire Disk". Let the majority decide which layout is preferred for the default. Thanks, Dave -- Dave Robison Sales Solution Architect II FIS Banking Solutions 510/621-2089 (w) 530/518-5194 (c) 510/621-2020 (f) daver@vicor.com david.robison@fisglobal.com _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
