I've noticed that the default installs basically put all remaining HD space in
the /export/home directory. I am curious why this is done? Every person I have
talked to says "redo the layout on install". If so many people redo the layout,
why do we default with no space left except in /export/home? What I end up
doing is putting a little more space in swap (based on my system memory), and
then put the rest in the / so that as I do pkgadd, installs, etc, I don't get
any problems with out of space errors. So yah, I am really curious why we
default that layout on install.

You should consider a re-layout of your boot drives, or better still,
use ZFS boot.
