I Agree, with Joe, but I also want to add I think the root file systems is also too small. The same type of formula could work. As for me I'll continue to set my favorite values for modern drives: 250M root, 2*mem swap, 250M /var, the rest /usr. 20M is way too small for modern drives, but we can't hard code this as many people stll are using old hardware to do jobs (such as nat boxs and ipfw etc).
