I'm not sure how you arrive at this number; even with -CURRENT (on i386, with all debug symbols), I could store about 4 complete kernels on such a filesystem: $ du -hs /boot/kernel* 122M /boot/kernel 122M /boot/kernel.20090629a 121M /boot/kernel.20090630a 122M /boot/kernel.20090702a 121M /boot/kernel.20090703a All other files on my root filesystem use up an additional ~25 MiB, so in practice, it would be limited to 3 kernels, with more than enough breathing room. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
