Very good. Care to elaborate about allsortsa?
It's a newb-secret.
If my critical file systems are separate, then damage is limited to the
one that gets damaged. Also, some backup tools are easier to work with
when dumping an entire partition and not just a directory. Not to
mention that hard drives are so huge these days, that I like to make my
filesystems *not the whole drive* for fsck and backup reasons. It's a
bit of a pain to set up, but it seems I always like having all the
separate file systems somewhere down the administration road.
Some malware/virii thingies don't jump from one filesystem to another...
Now I could probably mount /usr read-only all the time (was a thought,
haven't tried it yet)
I'll list them (honesty, though, I probably overkilled here):
on hda:
/boot
/
/home
/opt
/usr
/var
on RAID 5 sda, 4 160GB SATA:
/home/vpopmail (this is important)
/usr/share (this is important)
/usr/src (not as big a deal)
/var/lib (this is important)
/var/named/chroot (!) (a DNS chroot jail on it's own partition -- what
the heck, I have lotsa disk space !)
/var/qmail (important)
/backup (what else to do with 60 GB of leftovers?)
