I “sized” my root partition for 6.1 years ago. 7 didn’t fit on it unless I removed the kernel debug symbols during the installation. 8 wouldn’t fit at all. I have periodically had to completely rebuild the system disk to resize the partitions for system upgrades. That is a real pain and a major downtime. 10 is out and 11 is almost here. Newer systems are always larger.

shrink out of my current 9.3R install, since both new boxen will be 9.3R
as well.
