Partitioning
I have a Lenovo N580 and had FreeBSD 11.2 running on it until last night when I installed OpenBSD 6.3. I've ran OpenBSD in the past and 6.2 is running my mail server with OpenSMTPD for 2 domains, but the laptop under FreeBSD was quirky running Mate. I haven't had the problems with OpenBSD that I had previously.
I know the default partition can be changed, which I did by changing sizes. At the time I thought about just going with one / and swap and call it good, but didn't. Now I wish I would have done that, but I'm not going to reinstall since it is just a laptop for everyday use. Excellent wifi setup! So pleased coming back. My question is though: with such large drives today, why doesn't the default install just use / and swap, instead of doing /, /usr, /var, etc., and lumping the "rest" of the unused space into /home? |
