FreeBSD Handbook - 2.6 Allocating Disk Space

[Lauri Suoranta]

Above-mentioned chapter has table 2-2 as a suggestion how to partition a 
disk. It suggests to allocate 50 MB partition for /var. That seems to be 
a bad idea because pkg_add needs lots of space there while installing 
packages. Many installations will fail unless you tweak pkg_add's path 
variables.
