Hi Mark I was interested in some of your BSD results. From what I remember of the freebsd install it left all disk layout issues to the person installing. Admittedly that was a few releases ago (6 branch mainly). Has the install changed that much that it now recommends a disk layout? Thanks and kind regards Feighen On 13 April 2012 05:05, Mark Krenz <mark () suso com> wrote:

Below is the filesystem setup when using all the default options (no customization): # df -hP Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 5.5G 2.1G 3.4G 39% / udev 495M 0 495M 0% /dev tmpfs 502M 272K 501M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 502M 612K 501M 1% /run /dev/mapper/vg_fedora15test-lv_root 5.5G 2.1G 3.4G 39% / tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /media /dev/sda1 485M 30M 430M 7% /boot /dev/mapper/vg_fedora15test-lv_root 5.5G 2.1G 3.4G 39% /tmp /dev/mapper/vg_fedora15test-lv_root 5.5G 2.1G 3.4G 39% /var/tmp /dev/mapper/vg_fedora15test-lv_root 5.5G 2.1G 3.4G 39% /home Despite what the above looks like, /tmp is actually part of the root filesystem. Yes, of course you can change your setup post install or if you're daring enough during the install, but that wasn't the point of the research. -- Mark S.
