Hello,
I was recompiling the kernel on my laptop when the process ended with errors.
/usr : filesystem full
I suspect that the HD is has too many files ??
can I simply remove/delete to ports from /usr/ports and try to recompile?
btw...I have used pkg_add in the past. Will deleting the ports files
tantamount to deleteing a folder in windows without uninstalling first
By default pkg_add (and installing from ports tree)
records the relevant information in /var/db/pkg/,
deleting /usr/ports will not affect your ability to pkg_add
or pkg_delete (pkg_deinstall?) in the least, though
it will deeply hinder your ability to install from ports.
If you have the option, move /usr/obj to some other
drive, even if not, and assuming you have extra space
on some other partition (if /home is particularly barren),
you can create a directory and symlink it to /usr/obj.
