Hi, Anyone.
My /Usr directory/slice is now over 5.2 GB for a basic workstation 6.2
install. thats 90%+ of the slice. I need help with a procedure to
clean
it up. The machine is:
Advertising
FreeBSD Growler.maplebend.net 6.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p3
#2:
Wed Apr 18 11:16:35 CDT 2007
KDE 3.5.1
Updated /ports & Sources via CVSUP.
I have no idea where to start. Where should I look for redundant or
obsolete files?
You could clear out the files in /usr/ports/distfiles, because you
can always
download those again.
If you have ever built a new kernel & world, you can clean out /usr/obj
after installing them.
If you have ports that you don't use, pkg_delete those as well, since
they're in /usr/local. For instance, if you've upgraded to xorg 7.2, you
can delete most of the drivers ports.
While you're at it, you can set the nodump flag on both of these
directories, so that they're no backed up.

As sugested by Roland Smith, I looked at /usr/obj as follows:
Growler# cd /usr/obj ; ls -al
total 6
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 30 12:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 512 May 29 14:34 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 30 12:08 usr
Growler# du -hs *
163M usr
Growler# rm -rf usr
Growler#
It appears a copy of the /usr directory & files were placed there. Back
in March? I deleted it as you can see, that got me a little space and
it's still running... 8-)
