How to clean up /usr?
Hi there!
Recently I've updated my -current system via anoncvs (/usr/src, /usr/ports, /usr/xenocara). After that my 5.3 Gig /usr was almost completely filled up. So, I deleted /usr/xobj/* and ran "make clean" in /usr/src. This helped a little, but there are still some 87% of /usr in use - just 636 MB are free. Are there any other steps I could take to regain some space on /usr? |

Previously, i also encounter the same problem with you and i manually delete some files which i seen is unusable.
I hope this help. Thanks for your response |

As a personal anecdote, I have OpenBSD installed on a storage challenged system where these three partitions reside on an external USB drive. I only attach & mount them when I update & rebuild the system. |

The way I took.
While sources and ports tree can be read from an USB key (or evem a ro medium) I put my .../obj dirs on a hard drive slice. My distfiles, packages sources are on yet another slice. With my data (archives, postgresql, www, mail, user data ). The only slice I need to backup beyond /var/backups. snip from my mk.conf WORKOBJDIR=/sandbox/pobj MAKEOBJDIR=/sandbox/sobj XOBJDIR=/sandbox/xobj Faster to newfs the /sandbox then rm And .... the .../obj dirs are clean! A very heavy /usr (with GTK and QT3 and QT4 and their apps) takes less than 4Gig.
