I'm running release instead of stable like I did years ago. Syspatch is a better solution for me than building from source. I want to change my disk layout because when I set up this box I was thinking of building from source like the old days. I want to eliminate some filesystems and move /var and resize it. I can't growfs where /var is right now, the filesystems I want to get rid of precede it.
Is it better to do this kind of thing single-user (is it even possible to run without /var) or is it better to boot the installer disk and do it from a shell without anything mounted? Thanks, /jl
