how much space for /

[sweetleaf]

When i installed freebsd-5.1, i stayed close to the recommended partition sizes in the handbook. The faq. said 100 megabytes would usually be enough for the / partition. I decided to install freebsd with 300M for the / partition just to be on the safe side. The only thing i have added since the original install is the linux compatibility and some linux apps i needed such as netscape, opera etc. Ok, now for some reason my / partition shows to be full and i cant figure it out as like i said only a few apps have been installed. It appears to me that after adding linux compatibility the / partition went to full maybe because of the syslink "compat" that was placed on my / partition by the freebsd-5.1 linux compatibility port.

Is there another way this should be done?

Thanks in advance.
