It's still valuable, but it's more a hack until we can provide something more sophisticated like unionfs support. Much of what basevol/guestvol does could be done better by unionfs. > The book quotes Albert Einstein: "Everything should be made as simple as > possible, but not simpler." Perhaps a single file system is "too simpler" Probably. Generally accepted practice in the Unix world separates /, /usr, /var, /opt, /home, and /srv (if used) into distinct filesystems. /etc and /tmp are often also split out, but less commonly. Whether you make them separate LVs or PVs is a religious issue. There are arguments for both. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
