Hello,

I just installed FreeBSD. After I installed it, I was surprised to find only 26M of space on /. I used the auto-defaults during the Disklabel portion of the install.

[cstankevitz@crs-m6300 ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad4s1a 496M 430M 26M 94% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ad4s1e 496M 14K 456M 0% /tmp
/dev/ad4s1f 113G 1.9G 102G 2% /usr
/dev/ad4s1d 2.9G 7.9M 2.6G 0% /var

Q1: Is 26M free space on / after installing FreeBSD normal?


The amount used (ie: 430M) looks about right. On my FreeBSD-7.2-STABLE/amd64,
running a GENERIC kernel with a minimal /etc, my / filesystem is using
443M. However, this has a /boot/kernel and a /boot/kernel.old, both of
which chews up 210M each.

Cheers.

If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the remaining 3%?
