Re: Minimum size for a hammer file system?
The problem with the small FSs is the manteinance of them, you will hit the diskfull too fast in very small FS (unless you tune it up propperly and increase the cleanup/prune frequencies). In my real box i got a 160GB disk and worked fine since hammer was released until now. In my virtualbox it has a 16GB disk and never crashed, but i got just dfbsd srcs, vim and zsh and use it for dfbsd tests and experiments only.
