What about creating a SWAP partition on the new 60gb drive, and then setting the rest as /var - so you can then create other directories underneat the /var to use for whatever purposes you desire - that way you can move the SWAP off the primary drive and put it on a different physical spindel - which in the mere fact that you're segregating it physically, you'll definitely improve your overall system performance...(just a thought) -- Sat Jun 14 16:55:00 EST 2003 16:55:00 up 1 day, 9 min, 1 user, load average: 0.15, 0.11, 0.03 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * Advice from an old carpenter: measure twice, saw once.
