I successfully did my first FreeBSD upgrade yesterday after looking at the =
manual, and cross referencing with Googling and getting help from our =
network engineer here at CWU. Before the upgrade, running df showed:

Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a    507630   77662    389358    17%    /
devfs               1       1         0   100%    /dev
/dev/da0s1e    507630     588    466432     0%    /tmp
/dev/da0s1f 268217320 4866120 241893816     2%    /usr
/dev/da0s1d   4298926  162066   3792946     4%    /var

Now it shows:

Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a    507630  184834    282186    40%    /
devfs               1       1         0   100%    /dev
/dev/da0s1e    507630     426    466594     0%    /tmp
/dev/da0s1f 268217320 5514844 241245092     2%    /usr
/dev/da0s1d   4298926  187570   3767442     5%    /var

Notice the the increase in the root partition. Should I have made this =
partition bigger when I first installed? Is there any cleaning up I can do =
after version upgrades? I would've thought /usr would be the one that grew =
more, but then again my /usr partition is fairly sizeable. Does 7.0 just =
take up a lot more of the root partition than 6.2?
