I have a task on my TODO list to increase the sizes of the partitions in
sysinstall: for example / goes to 1GB, /var to 4GB. I hope to commit
the code in the next couple of weeks.
As a matter of idle curiosity with a bit of education thrown in, why 4GB
for /var? The last time I installed a new machine I made / 1GB as I'd
found out from a previous install that 512MB wasn't really enough, and
then decided to make /var bigger than the Handbook said as well and made
it 3GB. This has turned out to be total overkill:
art...@fileserver> df -h /var
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad10s1d 2.9G 205M 2.5G 8% /var
I'm sure my use of this machine is very simple and nowhere near as large
as other people's but a leap of 4-16 times what it currently suggests in
the Handbook seems a bit excessive, especially if people are installing
onto older kit. OTOH, playing devil's advocate with myself, disks are
huge these days so why not?
