I would only have two slices, "/" and swap for file systems. Users don't really get shell accounts these days, so the argument of users filling up the / FS is moot. Also, if one doesn't have a monitoring solution that alerts when the disk capacity thresholds are reached, one is already in trouble before the whole exercise started. > Generally, what are the advantages and the > disadvantages for using boot from SAN? LUN sizing can be a disadvantage depending on the software one uses (ZFS with iSCSI solves that problem). Other than that, the advantage is that everything is centralized and one saves on storage costs. In some cases, immensely.
