[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I am very new to FreeBSD, I have 4 gig HD and I installed the HD to partitions during the installation of FreeBSD. I chosen automatic assign, and what the install program set was / 30MB swap 137MB /var 30MB /usr all the remaining space Everything would be fine but I got lots of errors that /var has not enough space, I am suspecting that / dir would run our of free space pretty soon if it didn't already. Can you advise me what is the best solution for the partition sizes? I have 64mb of ram, so I understand that swap should be like 128mb or 137 as it was chosen. I will probably want to allocate 160MB, but I am not sure what I should do next, how much aprox I should allocate for / or /usr or for /var also I want something to be left for user directories as well if possible. Thank you for your help.
