Why would you want a 250M root ? I always keep root small, usually the default 32M or 40M. It limits the possible damage and makes it much easier to restore. /tmp does not belong in root, but has its own partition, which can be 200M if you have it. The root partition should be as static as possible, IMHO. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
