Hi John, Person came from somewhere and cut out a lot of the useful hardware info. At least now it's maintainable and can be carefully rewritten again, duh. The frequent questions will probably go away over time as things improve. Sound advice should have stayed however if you ask an enthusiast opinion. The cvsweb shows historic versions of the pages if you want to reread it. Asking this question also helps solve cases for mailing list readers too. I have the same intention as you and am glad you raised the points again. Ideally, the auto partition could have templates, for the cases you have. http://man.openbsd.org/disklabel#AUTOMATIC_DISK_ALLOCATION Interesting what the people with bulk port build and snapshot builds say. http://man.openbsd.org/mk.conf http://man.openbsd.org/bulk Kind regards, Anton Lazarov > /jl > > > > > > > > > > > On Mon, Jun 25, 2018 at 3:17 PM, John Long <codeb...@inbox.lv> wrote: > > > Been a while and don't have my other OpenBSD boxes accessible. > > > > > > What are the recommended partitions and appropriate sizes for > > > people > > > who want to track stable and possibly build the whole ports tree? > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > /jl > > > > > > > >
