Hi, All
Is it possible to have /var in a separate partition, mounted during boot?
Or do the boot process need it to read/write to it?
I have found that mounting local file systems is one of the very first
tasks on "rc boot".
Thanks

I think I saw it mentioned on -dev that some time shortly /usr and /var
will be needed on / or you will need the init* thingy to boot. That's
was my understanding of this mess. So, if you are about to do a install
that needs /var on its own partition, I would ask a dev to see how you
should plan. I could have misunderstood but I'm pretty sure it's
coming. It may also depend on what you are going to be running too. I
mention because no need doing it one way now and having to fix it
later. That sucks!
That said, I have /var on its own partition and mine boots fine,
although I haven't rebooted in a week or so. I don't think the change
has happened yet but is coming. I may have a different answer in a
month or so. ;-)
