And yet the last time I accepted OpenBSD's partitioning defaults I ended up with "/usr: no space left on device" the first time I tried building something from ports.
- detourdog 3y agoThe defaults probably are probably close to the minimums required. Remember this is a conservative operating system. They will not look at your system and guess how you want to use it and make more guesses at your partition size should be. They assume since it's your disk you best know how to partition it. One is free to edit the default save them to file for next time. If one wants to manage the details of a computer system with documentation describing the implications of each decision OpenBSD is perfect. There are plenty of other operating systems that will most do the right thing. How many operating systems do exactly what you tell it to?

Then it shall have some documentation on system requirements. I tried to install Freebsd on a VM with UFS as a filesystem and the show ended with out of inodes when installing the ports system. This in 2020 is a bit sad.
