hello
If you want to do a bulk build (aka whole ports tree), read bulk(8) (in
ports/infrastructure/man/), it says that you need at least 100 GB of
disk.
1. Choose master machine setup and create partitions
Setup a master machine with enough room for a chroot, say
/build. Assuming you are using a cluster of machines, this
chroot should contain NFS exportable partitions for distfiles,
plists, and packages (one single partition can be used for
simplicity). A full setup requires on the order of 50GB for
distfiles and 50GB for packages.
