For backup purposes, I'd separate at least /home. As a general rule, try
to keep filesystems small enough so that a full dump (or other backup)
fits on your preferred backup medium.

disk layout

2005-11-12 Thread Dick Hoogendijk
Many msgs are written on disk layout before, I guess.

I have still a small question.
I'll install FreeBSD-6 on a 160G drive.
Is it OK to just use the "normal" layout (/ /var /tmp /usr) or will it
be smarter to create some slices extra like /home or /data ?
All slices are on the same disk, but I wonder if it will be better from
fragmentation or other reasons unknown to me to have more slices.
