No more free space on /usr

[horus33]

Hello,
I have FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE installed and configured. Now I wanted to fetch ports collection to /usr but I found a problem. Although I put /usr on separate partition and gave it 1G of space it is almost full now (only 79MB free).

p.s. I noticed that following directory in /usr is taking a lot of space:
/usr/local (633MB) with (316MB) occupied by /usr/local/share and (261MB) occupied by /usr/local/lib

Is this normal?

This is a system of mine, running 8.2-RELEASE:

# du -hs /usr/local/*
 20M    /usr/local/bin
148K    /usr/local/etc
8.9M    /usr/local/include
 17M    /usr/local/info
 89M    /usr/local/lib
 40K    /usr/local/libdata
110K    /usr/local/libexec
4.9M    /usr/local/man
 66K    /usr/local/pgsql
776K    /usr/local/sbin
426M    /usr/local/share
2.0K    /usr/local/www

By the way you can always mount /usr/ports from another partition/disk (if you have any) or reconfigure the ports tree to work into another place (see here).

Well, unfortunatly you should have given 10 GB to /usr.

Several solutions:
- Reinstall
- Move some folders elsewere and link it, I did it for ports folder on my previous laptop
- Use growfs, never used it.

If I were you I would reinstall it with new partition sizes.

1GB is certainly not enough.

All ports install in /usr/local/. Depending on how many ports and which ones you'll use quite a lot more.

Is this normal?

Yes.
