The branch main has been updated by ziaee: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=5ed26c21e4ff1d478d4611abbf3dc14cc1b77244 commit 5ed26c21e4ff1d478d4611abbf3dc14cc1b77244 Author: Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2026-04-28 16:59:19 +0000 Commit: Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-04-28 16:59:34 +0000 bsdinstall: Improve auto-partition message Manually tuning ZFS for systems with <8GB ram hasn't been necessary at least since the switch to OpenZFS. We have users reporting using 1GB RAM with no manual tuning/issues. Further, the page this links to is a stale wiki page, which is causing complaints. Remove this misleading note and replace it with a similar message for UFS. While here, reword that note to be a bit clearer.
