One of my machines is suddenly complaining that it can't find libxcb.so.2.
This is probably an issue related to a recent attempt to update the software
on this machine, so I figured I'd just rebuild the port that provides this
library, but I can't figure out how to determine which on that would be.

What is not unusual is to symlink /home e.g:
# ln -s /usr/home /home
ditto for /tmp. i.e you remove all the stuff that uses up space from
the root partition.
So the only slices you need are /, /usr, /var and swap.

Ah so BSD is slightly different from Linux in the fact that it needs to have

It's not required, it's just nice to do if the disk space is
