Since you mention /usr/src, /usr/xenocara, & /usr/ports, you might be building the system, or you might simply want to install source for study. Your goals are unclear, so to advise as to what sizes you need are also unclear. If your goals is to build a substantial number of ports, /usr/ports/pobj may need to be tens of gigabytes in size. I could try to write a simple patch for it. > At the beginning of the installer, you are given the choice of accepting the defaults as presented, or choose a custom layout which will allow the creation of partitions of any allowable size. No patch is needed or necessary. The tools provided have the flexibility you need/desire.
