--iFRdW5/EC4oqxDHL Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, [1] When a new (12.x) amd64 system is installed, the partition defaults to MBR.= I normally use this as it's the default. I don't run mixed-OS systems; they a= re all freebsd. But I understand that GPT is newer or "better"? If GPT is "better" then why is it not the default? My use case is always ufs for the OS and zfs for data. Would it be "better"= to use GPT when installing a system? [2] The bsdinstaller defaults to 4GB swap. Isn't this insufficient on a 32GB system? Doesn't swap need to be 2x RAM on a fast disk? The next install I do I'm thinking of making 2x 32GB swap partitions. These being on the same SSD as the base OS. Would you consider this to be suboptimal, and if so, why? thanks, --=20 J. --iFRdW5/EC4oqxDHL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAl5FZRgACgkQs8o7QhFz NAWyzhAAjBdK5gqv8YaytS9ebuePEybgp8VmFh4N4aZaEx9QklSZWZBw/ttQq6hv pfv9n4tVW2FSYc/rg9nHbrUI01lac9fOhS0sZquZqLrH/8bAb/mvHzEMyGQzvWRv 1JH26jqNj7RPSYbImfBXcV8L5a9PrcoCNkhGao4WOspMpBoRTX7Bbieyt6dX8L/V A1NDwpAdeUmO6GjsqAojdNBrsfkTxIn+lj6FZ32cTYkanKmoab788I6FWCjso+jh GIwEjWXXKIJIkclxu1YkSODQzpGu+ZcZjkRgTYlXapkNJULbgreRRl7oiG6btAbk 7NhwAkLNBLjEFGlAIkxqu9aJpiyySjD1orq+WHaQwAgWPCqcYbeGjom/UmWA0/Qq F40SE/m2+PvANKSd+9ngOyljPyWozaJBPLmvamN0iU4LdcsK1tI3lEWe9XppqgMD /BvueqSFMYmW183x7fojvF+tRamx3ru+F/jeZND4gbxHsncgrDZjKfI9K8g4fJzJ TBORySv+uTiZNyX4MY5CL+Ayq+RrgOqV4Vpz8jH8TsiIZWNie5bkSOEv43xHBwGv RjWVaWNjDBBui0J1syTyPm5a7Xspc/UwOtRkxr00TkN0F9xrIpgehtk3cWItV+/s CwNZ0a42E2fIYRm1t0x0QVI3m1TWtiS9jyZvWO9hOmn8U3KaQs0= =0Abb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --iFRdW5/EC4oqxDHL--
