Hey Everyone,
I'm about to embark on installing FreeBSD 9.0 RC3 on my desktop and I'm looking for some opinions on how best to make use of the hard drive space in my computer. I originally built this machine for Windows, and as you do, I went a bit overboard on specifications.
I've got a 120GB Intel X25-M SSD, and two Western Digital 1TB hard drives.
In linux, I had set these up so that the SSD was the root partition, and each 1TB drive had 4GB of swap space and a home partition on each (raid0 using MD/software raid).
I checked my partition manager today to see how that plan worked out and I'm surprised that only 4GB of the SSD had been used, even with both the Gnome and KDE desktop environments (with all supporting apps for each) installed.
I'm on the verge of saying "stuf'it, let's make one big partition on the SSD and dump everything, even the userland in there."
