I don't see any reason for splitting them and I don't think admins should split partition without a reason. It just makes more problems with full filesystems, this thread describes the case :) I see good reason for separate /var and /home (different mount options, using quota) and in some cases for separate /boot (root on LVM, or bios incapable of addressing big disks), but separate /usr is rarely a usefull option. afaik separate /usr was intentionally used long time ago, when systems were booting from small (even floppy) disks, where small root with basic utilities was mounted (drivers loaded), and then /usr was mounted with necessary options. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
