Then put those secondary directories into LVMs and mount them at boot time in /etc/fstab -- no problem there. It's really just / that we're worrying about here. For a manageable system in a large configuration, / is (and should be) small and rarely changed -- all it has to do is provide mount points for other filesystems, either in LVM, network, FCP, etc. In most cases, / contains enough to get the system up and on the network to the point where you can work with it. Once you can do that, you can do anything else you want to do fairly easily. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
