It has at least one advantage for us. We are given very limited space to allocate for each guest. This method allows for the rapid installation of either single application/patch or mass deployment/upgrade via ZLM without having to guesstimate ahead of time that /opt will be 1.1 gig, /tmp will be 500 meg, etc. Using my example, if we need to grow /opt to 1.5 gig, we would then have to shuffle sizes of other filesystems around. Would you agree or am I missing something? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
