Regarding separate /usr and /var: the advantage is that you can keep /usr read-only which is also important for security reasons since modifying system binaries becomes less easy. Furthermore, you can NFS share a read-only /usr among many similar machines, while /var is a per-machine specific read-write area. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
