Fair enough...you may want to look into ZFS at some stage which makes "partition/slice" management (as such) a cinch. > Now I wonder, regarding Solaris, I read that to create a /tmp slice was not > such a good idea. Why? Is it included in the swap? /tmp lives on a special filesystem called swapfs (which contains, amoung other things, the swap file system itself and potentially some/all of the free memory). It's best to leave it like. (Also, unlike many linuxes expect things in /tmp to disappear on every reboot). I'm not sure if this question belongs on [osol-help] (the help mailing list) or not -) I'm happy to answer but I *think* that's possibly a better list to ask such questions on.
