Douglas, Builds of userland are stored in /usr/obj. Builds of xenocara are place in a separate structure: /usr/xobj. If you used automatic partition allocation, /usr/obj is a separate filesystem while /usr/xobj is not. Object files are not deleted automatically as they are used to build -stable filesets, if you build releases for use on multiple systems. If you only have the single amd64 machine, you may safely clear the object contents of both directory structures after a successful build. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
