at the edge of failure. I am guessing that needing to swap to the hard drive after free memory filled up caused the failures. I could be wrong. I suggest that you carefully check the hard drive and memory. Might not have anything to do with the snapshot. Never rule out hardware. Chris Bennett

Re: Regarding the default /usr partitioning

2015-06-29 Thread Chris Bennett
k and growfs (NOT newfs!!) and you have made an larger /tmp and done away with /var completely. Read all the man pages very carefully first. Backup /usr first, too, if possible. if you have /usr /usr/src /usr/obj in that order (or /usr/obj first after /usr), just growfs /usr into /usr/src space, then repeat with /usr/obj. Only matters that /usr is first. I have done this many times and it has saved me the grief you are having. If you later build a custom set, be sure to put partitions you can sacrifice later in order on the disk, else you are screwed. Wish you luck! Chris Bennett
