For years now the default partition sizes during install have remained pretty much the same. While I normally change the partition sizes to my own specification I decided to use the auto defaults in the installer for a test machine I was putting together. (FreeBSD 8.0) Once the system was installed I started a standard system update to 8.0 Stable. Partway through a make installworld I ran out of room on / (root). In the age of the terrabyte drive, would it not be prudent to increase the default partition size for at least / (root) in the installer in the 8.x tree if not for the 7.x tree as well? Also, is there any intention to add a more simplified and direct way to use zfs from the installer? - Thanks, - Justin
