(In reply to Glen Barber from comment #10)

I agree it is not a bug per se, but rather a comment on the commit which
increased the size of all VMs by 10GB (50% increase) per Kirk’s request who
noticed free space was getting low on a 20GB disk for actual people who do want
to download the full source history and recompile both world and kernel and
want to keep some kernel and cannot or don’t want to mess with growfs (that’s a
bunch of conditions)

Kirk admits he doesn’t need the full 30GB (anything >25GB seems fine) and I
believe 27GB for instance is plenty enough while still allowing to use default
disk settings of 30GB (which happens when you click on `Launch this [FreeBSD]
image’) - and in addition anything under 30GB is free if you use a low resource
Google Cloud machine.

So my comment/request on your commit, if you wish to honor it, is ‘can you
solve Kirk’s problem with VMSIZE=27GB instead of the 30GB you chose, or even
better maybe can you make introduce VMSIZE-GCE or VMSIZE-CLOUDWARE = 10GB for
instance so that cloud images we upload to Amazon, Google and Azure are smaller
and adapted to the size of the disk they are installed onto since growfs *does*
its job there?’
