6.2-STABLE => 7.0-STABLE Upgrade root partition more full

[Gavin Spomer]

I successfully did my first FreeBSD upgrade yesterday after looking at the manual, and cross referencing with Googling and getting help from our network engineer here at CWU. Before the upgrade, running df showed:

Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a    507630   77662    389358    17%    /
devfs               1       1         0   100%    /dev
/dev/da0s1e    507630     588    466432     0%    /tmp
/dev/da0s1f 268217320 4866120 241893816     2%    /usr
/dev/da0s1d   4298926  162066   3792946     4%    /var

Now it shows:

Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a    507630  184834    282186    40%    /
devfs               1       1         0   100%    /dev
/dev/da0s1e    507630     426    466594     0%    /tmp
/dev/da0s1f 268217320 5514844 241245092     2%    /usr
/dev/da0s1d   4298926  187570   3767442     5%    /var

Notice the the increase in the root partition. Should I have made this partition bigger when I first installed? Is there any cleaning up I can do after version upgrades? I would've thought /usr would be the one that grew more, but then again my /usr partition is fairly sizeable. Does 7.0 just take up a lot more of the root partition than 6.2?
