       converted my #FreeBSD hosts to pkgbase, including some tiny VMs with 20GB disks. Why is are these disks full?Well, /var/db/freebsd-update was ~7GB. #sysadmin (Yes, most of my critical hosts are VMs on  rented hardware, but these are offsite DNS and remote test nodes.)

       @mwl Helpful to know before I pgkbasify a couple VMs with small disks.  Thanks for the heads-up!

       @mwl you can probably run pkg clean -a and get a bunch more free too from /var/cache/pkg.Nobody can afford to waste or buy storage these days.

       @dch that's another 30gb across my jails, thank you!

       @mwl LOL, this is familiar… I have 5 machines where I’ve had to add space to update, because it turns out that FreeBSD14 is a little bit larger than the FreeBSD8 (or 6?)  that they were originally installed with.
