in the past we've had two partitions: / /data into the latter went home, www, mail and we'd softlink from the appropriate places. the nice thing about this setup has always been that when we upgraded or tried a different system there wasn't any data copying to do.
now we've been experimenting with xfs on which there will be openvs containers to run the web/mail servers. containers go into /var/lib/vz and we're thinking of keeping them in a separate partition too. additionally, we've split things up so there are partitions for /usr /usr/local /tmp /home and so on. so i'm musing over whether to have a /data partition as before - it doesn't seem to make quite the same sense at this stage. however, when it comes time to change to the next debian, i keep thinking having the data separate may be an advantage. do people have favorite partitioning schemes with appropriate justifications for them? -- in friendship, prad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
