Hi, > So am I going overboard? or am I missing any good partions.
I never understood why putting /tmp on its own partition is good when nobody notices /var/tmp. In addition to /tmp I always put /var/tmp on its own partition too, so that I can mount it with nodev,noexec,nosuid. I also try to split things up in a way that I can mount many things with the ro option where there should be no changes to the filesystems unless you perform an update, patch something etc. regards, Tobias W.
