You may suppress the installation of the *.symbols files by inserting the following statement into /etc/make.conf: # prevent installation of "*.symbols" in /boot/kernel INSTALL_NODEBUG= yes >> >> It would be Really Nice (tm) if they could be put into /usr >> instead since there is virtually no benefit to them being in / >> (since they are only used for debugging). > > I have long wondered why the kernel debug symbols were moved into > /kernel.

In our environment we keep the *.symbols files for debugging purpose, but do not build all available modules. This saves lots of space in / and building time. The needed modules are defined in /etc/make.conf: ... MODULES_OVERRIDE opensolaris MODULES_OVERRIDE+= zfs etc. If we need another module, we simply add it to this list. "make buildkernel && make installkernel" installs it into /boot/kernel, including .symbols file. Thus our / file system is about 30% filled (amd64 / 1G) - -- Regards Alfred Bartsch Data-Service GmbH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlC4dYwACgkQ5QGe2JdVf3gEugCgjldOFRoLphT/cxAtMm8ulwiD sUEAn1kkVjPb3FxyvRs50CKkiaqkd0pI =zyQq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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"
