I wonder what would be the best partition layout for a really secure and performant system (running as router/server).
current layout: /boot not mounted / readonly /usr/local readonly /var r/w /tmp r/w /usr/portage r/w
Does this work? I was under the impression that /etc had to be writeable (/etc/mtab is the culprit I believe?), which forced / to rw (/etc still has to be in the same partition as /, right?). Anyway, I tend to use:
/boot noauto / rw /var rw LVM /usr ro LVM (remount rw as needed) /usr/portage ro LVM (remount rw as needed) /tmp tmpfs /home/users/* rw LVM (one lv per user -- easier than quota :) )
which seems to work reasonably well.
If there is a way to get / ro, I'd like to hear it...
