Michael, When you say 'root directory' I assume you mean / and not /root/.
FWIW, the only time we use LVMs is for application data or log files in directories such as /opt/was/, /oradata/logs/ or something like that. We used to use an LVM for /var/ but found we didn't need it. We use about a 12 GB file system for Linux (/). If the users fill up regular Linux directories, the answer is 'Stop doing that', and very rarely do they. Hope this helps. -Mike MacIsaac On Tue, Aug 23, 2016 at 8:18 AM, Michael Weiner <mwei...@infinite-blue.com> wrote: > Good morning all, > > I was having a little debate yesterday and I want to get the experts on > this list opinions. > > What's the best practice when it comes to the root directory? > > Is it acceptable and recommend to create an vgroot and lvroot so it is > expandable? > > Or is it recommended to have the root directory as a regular directory and > not expandable. > > Thank you! > > > Sent from my iPhone > > > Sent from my iPhone > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or > visit > http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For more information on Linux on System z, visit > http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
