Hey guys,
I noticed that section 2.6.5 of the handbook talks about the partition
layout of a new FreeBSD installation. The handbook lists the default
partition sizes as being:
128MB for /
256MB for /var
However, a quick look in /usr/src/usr/sbin/sysinstall/label.c shows that
the default sizes used now are:
512MB for /
1GB for /var
These sizes are used assuming the disk is big enough. My question...
should the handbook be updated with this information? If so I'd like to
work up a patch (complete with new screenshots etc.) to correct this
information.
Thanks in advance,
Marc
