Yeah, BSDs deal fine with old computers and limited resources. I love that, too. :) > And for the sake of comparison, I have a FreeBSD machine with ZFS > filesystem mostly backup up video and it looks like this: > > (70) @ 23:39:38> zfs list > NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT > bigD 32.8G 37.6G 672M / > bigD/swap 4.13G 41.7G 57.1M - > bigD/tmp 44K 37.6G 44K /tmp > bigD/usr 27.8G 37.6G 312M /usr > bigD/usr/distfiles 31K 37.6G 31K /usr/distfiles > bigD/usr/home 23.9G 37.6G 23.9G /usr/home > bigD/usr/local 421M 37.6G 421M /usr/local > bigD/usr/obj 2.44G 37.6G 2.44G /usr/obj > bigD/usr/packages 31K 37.6G 31K /usr/packages > bigD/usr/ports 435M 37.6G 435M /usr/ports > bigD/usr/src 351M 37.6G 351M /usr/src > bigD/var 156M 37.6G 1.28M /var > bigD/var/backups 1.04M 37.6G 1.04M /var/backups > bigD/var/crash 31.5K 37.6G 31.5K /var/crash > bigD/var/db 153M 37.6G 152M /var/db > bigD/var/db/pkg 1.30M 37.6G 1.30M /var/db/pkg > bigD/var/empty 31K 37.6G 31K /var/empty > bigD/var/mail 31K 37.6G 31K /var/mail > bigD/var/run 55K 37.6G 55K /var/run > bigD/var/tmp 32K 37.6G 32K /var/tmp Interesting. Depending on purpose, I also dedicate /var/www, /var/named, and everything chroot'ed. And, *if* useful, you can also optimise their filesystem parameters according to the expected utilisation (many small files, fast seek times, big chunks of data, high throughput?). Note, however, most of the time the defaults are just fine, since reasonable metrics are applied to them anyway. And, if you're going to build your own releases on OpenBSD, you might want to plan another 2 GBs for the destination paths /usr/dest, /usr/rel, each. Norman
