Default During installation /usr takes up all free space
First, I just want to say, i love PC-BSD! It's great!

But I've been having a problem:

I've tried to install PC-BSD a number of times, and every time the /usr partition takes all of the remaining space on my HDD.

I've tried using the default settings, custom, advanced mode, etc, and of course I did not click "Use Entire Disk", so I can't understand why this is happening...

I have read the part of the manual that says "DO NOT use the "Use default layout" button in the Advanced Mode tab as it will instead layout the entire disk."

So I don;t know what else to do / read... :/

I would really like to have a relatively small /usr partition and use the rest of the disk for data storage and what not.

Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

By default, the installer allocates whatever is left of the disk /
partition to /usr, since thats where your user data, applications and
pretty much everything is located. If you want to allocate some space to
another partition, like /data, just create it via the GUI, and give it
the size you want. You can do this to limit the amount of space /usr/
receives.
