Not really, & you may be right, much ado about nothing, but I like
things as efficient as possible. I may be reading wrong, but I think I
see ~5.3 MiB *per file*, or a few hundred MiB total in /rescue. There
are also those pkg.sql backups, @ about 10 MiB apiece. The reason I ask
is I have about 12 GiB used total in my root dir & I'm trying to figure
out where it is all going. It may be nothing, I wanted to see if I could
get down to an 8 GiB root partition, but that may be unrealistic.
