Then all your free space gets fragmented across a dozen different filesystems and you end up micromanaging everything. I use one filesystem for root, and another filesystem for everything else. I mostly use symlinks, but at times Gentoo has been picky about symlinks so in some cases I've used bind mounts instead. When my root was really tiny and almost everything was elsewhere I had a ton of bind mounts. Now that all the places portage touches are on root I don't have to deal with that as much. I think the df behavior above is somewhat normal when you have bind mounts. -- Rich
