Hi :)
I've got much more than four installs on my machine. One FreeBSD and
tons of Linux installs. The reason for having tons of Linux installs is,
that I don't have the perfect hardware, but I use Linux as an audio
production environment.
It's useless for me to set up a virtual machine to test different
setups, since there is no emulation of my professional and
semi-professional audio cards and there is no emulation of my mobo
either and hardly a virtual machine will be real-time capable.
I'm not using all installs, some are just waiting to be replaced by the
next test install, but around 3 installs are used and at least 2
installs usually are maintained.
Regarding to the most useful partitioning scheme, I agree that DOS/EBR
is the easiest to use. With VBox I tested LVM and I never ever will use
it by choice. BSD is similar to LVM and I only use it, because I have no
choice.
There are two HDDs mounted to the computer, one is around 300 GiB, the
other is around 500 GiB small. Other users might have much more space on
their HDDs, so it's useful to have many partitions.
Since Linux can't show the partitions inside the BSD slice, this is how
my setup is seen by FreeBSD:

The NTFS partition doesn't include Windows, only FreeBSD and Linux are
installed and not all Linux partitons are Linux installs, some are just
for different data.
When my machine was a recent machine, there anyway was no Windows
installed. Why should I pay for something I won't use? I also didn't buy
a pre-built computer, I assembled the machine myself and I'm for sure
not the only one who mounted the PC at home, instead of buying an
expensive discounter PC.
Perhaps I should rename the thread to "customized computer". I'm just
kidding. At the moment I suffer from incompatibility between FreeBSD and
Linux. Both *NIX are more compatible to Windows, IMO a grotesque
situation.
I'm sharing the same directory for emails, by several Linux installs.
root@precise:~# ls -l /home/spinymouse/.local/share/evolution
lrwxrwxrwx 1 spinymouse spinymouse 58 Apr 28 2012 mail ->
/mnt/archlinux/home/spinymouse/.local/share/evolution/mail
I would like to share it with Evolution from my FreeBSD install, but
there's an issue regarding to permissions.
Now it's really OT, but perhaps somebody can help.
For FreeBSD I don't have control about the permissions of mounted Linux
ext3 partitions.
I get:
root@freebsd:/usr/home/rocketmouse # ls -l /mnt
drwxrwx--- 21 1000 1000 4096 Oct 28 19:11 archlinux
drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 4096 Jan 20 20:09 dump
The user is able to access /dump, but only /root can access /archlinux.
The uid of the FreeBSD user is 1001. I wonder why for /archlinux I get
rwxrwx--- and for /dump rwxrwxrwx, those permissions, user and group
will be changed automatically.
Regards,
Ralf
