I discovered this by installing a box with a 1G /, 2G swap, 2G /tmp, 2G /var and then using the default number of blocks for /usr, and ended up with a 2G /usr. My initial reaction to this was I had typod in using sysinstall (The disk filled up in use and that's when I discovered I had a 2G /usr) but after trying a reinstall I discovered it's actually caused by sysinstall using the wrong size. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
