Re: [expert] Use of Windows may be hazardous to your Linux

[tessonec]

Hi
          Well, when i first installed Linux (during '98) the guy who
bring me the debian CDs that i used to set up my box told me that i
shouldn't put the root directory (i mean "/") after a vfat partition
because he experienced the problem that when he was running win-defrag,
such program sometimes continued defragmentating cylinders contiguous (BUT
NOT BELONGING) to the partition thet he was trying to defragment. Does
someone understand this sentence???? 

          I mean that when using defrag, the program continued
defragmenting the next partition without  realize that. That's why he
recommended me that the first partition after a win partition should be
the swap one, that doesn't matter if it is destroyed.

Then i adopted :
------------------------------------
!/
!-----------------------------------
!win
!-----------------------------------
!swap
!-----------------------------------
!/usr
!-----------------------------------
!/home
!-----------------------------------

Is it nosense??? i hope not!!!!
