The branch stable/13 has been updated by emaste: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=3f244aace29b46d8d36e8272c9695811e2cc414f commit 3f244aace29b46d8d36e8272c9695811e2cc414f Author: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-07-27 21:18:41 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-08-04 17:21:33 +0000 Update WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS description We have installed kernel debug data under /usr/lib/debug/ for some time now, so the suggestion to set WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS for small root partitions is no longer valid. Also call them "debug symbol files" rather than just "symbol files", since they contain much more than just symbols. The kernel also includes (some) symbols, regardless of the setting of this knob.
