and he wastes a lot of space, makes boot a lot longer and increases head movement. One big / (like 40 or 80GB) will be enough (plus 15mb /boot, 2GB swap, the rest /home). With that sizes, it is nearly impossible to fill / completly up. But a too small /tmp or /var can make a boot impossible. To put everything on its own partition was good, when harddisks were 2gb-10gb big. But today it is just a waste of space and time. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
