OK,
Here's fodder for a great discussion/flame war.
I just bought a 10 gig drive (the smallest available) to replace a failing
drive. The drive that is failing is of course the drive I boot from and that
has /, /root, /usr, /etc, /opt, /tmp, /var, /usr/local, and /usr/src all as
separate file systems. Basically it's where all my system software lives.
User data is on different spindles or different partitions on that drive. So
now I have an opportunity to reorganize my system software partitions.
So I suggest that we discuss
1) which directories should be separate file systems
2) how big should they be
3) other stuff related to disk organization
If anybody remembers how to set up a drive to be a bootable drive while on a
system that still works, I'd wellcome tips in private email. I'm sure the
group has heard it before. Although there is no HOWTO on this and I just might
contribute one when this process is over. It's nice to have the luxury of a
gradually failing system to do this on.

-- Standard is better than better.
If your web page cares what browser I'm using it's broken.
