Well, I routinely use "make reinstall" or "make reinstallkernel
KERNCONF=MYKERNEL" on a personal machine of mine, because the backups of
the kernel fill the root partition if I do "make install". I haven't yet
spent time on looking why that happens (maybe because my kernel is
compiled with debug symbols), IIRC, I installed 4.7 from CD and then
updated with cvsup.

"df -h --si" excerpt (the drive has 4.5GB):
