Or, even better, use spare disk or at least spare slice. Having fresh good
backup never hurts though ;-)
For local tinderbox I have the following partitioning scheme:
part size purpose
ad0s1a 2G RELENG_6/amd64
ad0s1b 2G swap/dumps
ad0s1d 2G RELENG_5/amd64
ad0s1e 2G RELENG_6/i386
ad0s1f 2G RELENG_5/i386
ad0s1g 2G HEAD/amd64
ad0s1h 2G HEAD/i386
ad0s2 rest all version-independent data, such as sources, ports, /usr/obj
and homedirs
This seems to be useful, if you do not use/check huge packages such as
OopenOffice.org; in the latter case, you can increase partitions size
accordingly.
