I have /usr/src and /usr/obj as mount points on 2 different HDs. It is really simple to create a slice on a different HD and make part of it a partition for the source or the object files. I assigned each of them 1.5GB because the drives were on the order of 30GB and I wanted to error on the side of being generous. The fast systems (AMD 1600+ XXPs) are multiboot with MS XP or W2K. Locating /usr/src and /usr/obj on different HDs from the rest of the system improves the speed of buildworlds. I used the mount points so that I could NFS mount them with the same names and not have path problems with make. I also have systems where /usr/src is linked to /usr2/src or /usr/obj is linked to /usr2/obj. Make knows what the real PWD is and keeps track of it instead of the link.
