Hi, I just noticed somthing: I setup an 8.0-RELEASE amd64 box, / is default 512M. First step after setup was to csup to RELENG_8 and buildkernel and buildworld (no custom kernel, no make.conf). Instaling the new kernel failed, since /boot/kernel/ is already well over 230 MBytes in size. moving that to kernel.old and writing a new one with about the same size fails due to no space left on device. This is not a question; I do know how to get around this and how to configure custom kernels so they are a fragment of that size afterwards. However, I think this is a clear POLA violation. So, either GENERIC with less debugging information (symbols and stuff), which makes debugging harder or setting a higher default for / would be options, if not anyone else has better ideas. - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller http://sysadm.in/ ob@sysadm.in | | Ich bin das Internet.
