However, for the past year or so, I have had to increase the size of
/usr to 6G and /usr/local to 20G to build all the packages.
I can't remember now.. ports go under /usr/local, correct? What goes in
/usr that would require 6G?
Thanks,

Here is my df -h output -- Just as an FYI I was testing some
workarounds for the samba virusfilter issue and then made some
mistakes that screwed up KDE etc. So decided to build it from scratch
and have about 5000 packages built right now with the following disk
usage.
$ df -h

Reason why I had to increase /usr from the default 2G to 6G was
because I tend to build -current or -stable in addition to packages
and the additional files in /usr/share/relink went above the 2G size.
As a result I increased /usr partition to 6G.
Re. /usr/local, I used to be able to just run dpb (before 6.1) and get
almost all the packages built without having to do any manual checks.
So no packages were added to /usr/local earlier. But I may be missing
something because nowadays I am able to only build around 2700
packages if I run dpb blindly. I then have to do a make package
manually for critical items like cmake and others. I found out the
hard way that if I clean stuff up, some packages such as window
managers don't build for me. So I leave /usr/local as is which
resulted in me having to increase the size of /usr/local. Also, for
some packages such as webkit, I end up having to do a make clean all
and then make package.
I may be doing something wrong so none of the above is a recommendation.
