It's important to prepare for the worst, so to speak. Once your setup is set up, it's a pain to change it. At some point Partition Magic may support FFS slices, but not yet. That in mind, here's what I've got: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s2a 152M 33M 107M 24% / /dev/ad0s2d 139M 21M 107M 16% /home /dev/ad0s2h 203M 58K 187M 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s2e 2.6G 1.1G 1.3G 45% /usr /dev/ad0s2f 356M 274M 53M 84% /usr/src /dev/ad0s2g 305M 78M 203M 28% /var procfs 4.1K 4.1K 0B 100% /proc /dev/ad0s1 2.1G 758M 1.3G 36% /mnt/windows /dev/afd0s4 100M 92M 8.0M 92% /mnt/zip I chose a separate /home because that's where I keep all my customized/personal things (like my kernel config file, sendmail.mc, etc.). That way if I just back that slice off I'm in OK shape. Separate /tmp and /var because I wasn't thinking clearly. And separate /usr/src because I wanted it. -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
