I wondered about an LU slice, but it does complicate matters. Realistically you probably want 20G in /, so the LU slice has to be that big too. (And it really does need to be that big - Solaris isn't tiny, the developer tools aren't either, and you want to have room for the companion and maybe a copy of blastwave, and you want enough room so that the next release or 2 is going to fit.) And if you're thinking of LU, you probably do want to split out /export/home despite the fact that it's otherwise a really bad idea. Every time I've split a disk up into multiple filesystems one of them always ends up too small and I've always regretted it. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
