[Please CC: me on any replies - thanks!] 1) Does anyone have the recommended filesystem sizes for 3.x? I couldn't find anything on the web site. Had a fairly difficult upgrade from 2.2-stable to 3.3 (source build). Lots of make failures (disk space problems in /usr/obj, /usr and /) Had to do a fair amount of hacking to get the process finished. Hopefully, /usr and /usr/obj problems will go away when I purge the last remains of aout support. My / looks to need resizing, had to purge unneeded executables and remove ALL (yes rebooting was scary) old kernels in order to be able to install the 3.x kernel. 2) Also, is there a method of making recovery floppies for 3.x ? I recall a two disk solution (but this was a couple of years ago). I'm going to have to dump to scsi tape, boot from a recovery floppy, remake / and restore. Plus I should have period for disaster recovery. Appreciate any advice. Thanks Tony P.S The reason why I'm unclear on some of the above is that I have never done an install. Bought the system preinstalled from Rod Grimes ~5 years ago and have been upgrading from source ever since. Disk layout on sd0 has never changed. # df Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0s1a 31742 29066 138 100% / /dev/sd0s1e 63518 5656 52782 10% /var /dev/sd0s1f 190622 162116 13258 92% /usr /dev/sd0s1h 601406 360882 192412 65% /a /dev/sd1s1h 1014494 408458 524878 44% /b /dev/sd2h 2007362 795384 1051390 43% /c /dev/sd3h 1998610 923578 915144 50% /d mfs:50 127006 2 116844 0% /tmp # /sbin/disklabel sd0 # /dev/rsd0c: type: SCSI disk: DEC_DSP3053LS label: X442 flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 61 tracks/cylinder: 17 sectors/cylinder: 1037 cylinders: 1008 sectors/unit: 1046272 rpm: 5400 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 32768 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 31*) b: 131072 32768 swap # (Cyl. 31*- 157*) c: 1046272 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1008*) e: 65536 163840 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 157*- 221*) f: 196608 229376 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 221*- 410*) h: 620288 425984 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 410*- 1008*) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
