Nobody replied. I don't have RAID, and my system is miniscule.
I put /boot in a separate partition so other things blowing up don't clobber this partition (as easily). I put /var and /tmp in separate partitions because blow-ups tend to leave scrap there more than anyplace else. swap is in its own partition for the obvious reasons. / (including usr, bin, etc, and everything else) is in the BIG partition. What I wish is that /etc/mtab were (by standard and design) moved elsewhere so that the BIG partition could be read-only. /proc/mtab would be ideal. >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Cohan, Sean [mailto:SCohan@;goSPS.com] >>Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 9:35 AM >>To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' >>Subject: RE: Partition/Setup Decisions >> >> >>If someone replied to this, can you do it again?
