Hey all,

So I usually install using defaults but I put the majority of left over space, 
200GB or so in the /export dir. It is defaulted to /export/home. The problem I 
am running in to, is I am pkgadd stuff that is in like /opts, /var, etc and I 
am pretty sure I have no space to install much in those dirs. I am curious 
first of all why does the defaults set all the remaining space to 
/export/home... is it the assumption that after the initial OS (with all its 
extra packages) is set up, none of those packages use anything other than 
/export/home dirs... or that users will never install anything outside of that? 
I would think the / root would be the logical place to put the left over HD 
space, so that all paths below it are free to expand as needed.

Anyway, I really don't want to wipe the various stuff I got going on build 89, 
but would like to put some of the free space left into /opt, /var and a couple 
other locations.. or / if that is ok and there isn't some reason it shouldn't 
be there. How do I do this?

Thanks.
