That makes a certain amount of sense, so, what is the magic number in
/? I was basicly trying do something similar by giving / it's own
partition. I set it for 100mb because Redhat suggested 50-80mb and I
wanted to be conservative. Obviously, the definition of a
conservative is changing but I am curious as to how big it needs to
be?
