So if I want to put them on their own filesystem on another drive, I will need to copy their contents to a new location after install. Thanks for the info. It has helped me a lot. I am learning with everything I try, that OpenSolaris is truly a different beast from the SunOS 5.9. > There's no > need for var and opt to be on a separate slice from > the root install. For desktop stuff, one filesystem is fine, but for a busy mail server I can not see that being practical. How would you control setuid stuff or keep a mail queue from filling up root without the ability to put /var (or its subdirectories) on their own filesystem or slice? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
